Sustaining the People Behind the Provision

Staff Support & Clinical Supervision

Unmute provides structured, school-integrated support designed to protect staff capacity while strengthening the overall resilience of the school community.

Professional Supervision & Staff Wellbeing

The emotional labour placed on Manchester’s education workforce is both significant and often unacknowledged. To sustain high standards of pastoral care and safeguarding, staff require dedicated, professional spaces to reflect, process, and maintain their own wellbeing.
