The Play and Health Development Team are delivering Lunchtime Supervisor Training within Schools in Northamptonshire to help provide a more energetic, inspiring, and interesting lunchtime provision. 

Primarily the training sets out to raise staff's confidence in actively engaging children in physical play. The core training objectives are as follows:
• To explore the role of the lunchtime supervisor and how we can help them raise their profile
