How to create a risk management plan around a child with BESD

29 January 2014 – 08.45 to 12.15 pm

We often see children in schools whose behaviour is driven by emotional issues resulting in crisis behaviour. Sometimes staff are unclear in the role they are legally permitted to take to support that child, whether their behaviour is withdrawn and emotional or violent and aggressive. This course covers the principles that underlie this behaviour, what the law says about physical contact, and how to draw up a robust plan to manage the behaviour and how to record incidents. Please note this is NOT a course about how to restrain.

Target Audience: Colleagues who have children who need to be held or supported through emotional trauma

CREATIVE APPROACHES TO NURTURING AND LEARNING

Description:

Poor behaviour and learning is compromised by strong emotions. Strong emotions can lead children to become troubled and can create feelings of fear, worry, uneasiness and dread. Children can act out their strong emotions through aggression and restlessness. They can also have poor concentration, low self-esteem and become disengaged in learning.

Outcomes:

Participants will be able to:

1Identify, track and manage strong emotions that lead to “acting out,” behaviour

2Create emotionally safe and supportive classrooms and schools

3Enhance their own capacity to see and act upon creative options in the moment of “fire,”/confrontation.

Audience:Teaching Assistants, SENCOs, Higher LevelTeaching Assistants, Class Teachers and Newly Qualified Teachers, Learning Mentors

Duration: Half day - 09.00 to 12.30 on Friday 28 March 2014

Venue: Future House (Literacy Room)

Course Run by: Liz Merrick, SEBD Team

11 June 2014- 9.00 am to 1.00 pm

Are Lunchtimes in your school giving you a headache? If so, don’t worry – you’re not alone. The SEBD Team have found that challenging behaviour at lunchtimes is a problem common to many schools. It was for this reason that our ‘BEING BUDDIES’ lunchtime resource was developed.

We are presenting a morning workshop full of ideas and strategies to help you make lunchtimes a more positive experience for your children, and we will look closely at how you can set up your own Lunchtime Buddying Scheme. We will also take time to discuss the role of adults on the playground at lunchtimes.

During the morning, there will be opportunities to share ideas and experiences with colleagues from a range of primary schools in our city.

Target Audience: primary schools’ teaching staff/Learning Mentors with an interest in lunchtimes
