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staff are unclear in the role they are legally permitted to take to support that child, whether their behaviour is withdrawn and emotional or violent and aggressive.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.

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. Through creative approaches using dramatherapy skills, participants will learn how to identify and track emotions. They will learn to create a “safe space,” both internally and externally. Through action methods, playful exercises and the use of metaphor and imagery, participants will learn how to facilitate change so that strong feelings in children and adults are contained and managed skilfully. This enables participants to create emotionally healthy and safe classrooms and schools. Outcomes: Participants will be able to: 1 2 3 Identify, track and manage strong emotions that lead to “acting out,” behaviour Create emotionally safe and supportive classrooms and schools Enhance their own capacity to see and act upon creative options in the moment of “fire,”/confrontation.

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.
