INTRODUCTION
Training can be understood as an action which is used for teaching, developing and
delivering any sort of skill or knowledge in regards with enhancing competency of individuals in
an effective manner (Beard and Wilson, 2018). In regards with workplace, it is considered as
important as it help employees to refresh and review their knowledge which has become
obsolete. Apart from existing employees, training plays an important role for development of
new personnel in a strategic manner. Training also aid changing agents in bringing organisational
changes effectively in an establishment. This project report is based on case study whereby
University of Hull investigates training and learning needs of school lunchtime supervisors. It
also delves into safeguarding needs of children as per the UK government guidance. This project
report also demonstrates an understanding of varied challenges, benefits and need for training the
lunchtime supervisors in an effective manner. A problem is recognised in case study that is lack
of qualified lunch time supervisors at the schools of Hull which needs to be addressed in this
project report.

incapabilities and hi turnover in reads with lunch time supervisors have been recognised. Key
characteristics which are needed to be considered while setting up a training programme for
lunchtime supervisors are mentioned below:
Training needs of lunch time supervisors gets evaluated by assigned community of Hull
University in an effective manner. As per guidance set by UK government in relevance with
keeping children safe in education, it is mandatory to have a lunchtime supervisor at primary
