‘ I booked this training for my staff and it really emphasised the need for inclusive practise and how to manage adjusts for children to help them access all areas of the curriculum and feel fully supported by staff.’
Teresa Atkinson, Head Teacher, All Saints Academy
In this comprehensive course, educators and school staff will delve into the intricacies of effectively managing the SEND behaviour in the classroom and around the school. Through a combination of theoretical frameworks and practical strategies, participants will gain valuable insights into building positive relationships that nurture a supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students.
SEND Behaviour is not always a choice
Education settings should not assume that all behaviour is deliberate and within a child or young person’s control. Children with SEND do not always make “poor choices”, particularly if they are struggling at school without the support they need. This was spelled out clearly in a landmark ruling in 2018 by the Upper Tribunal.
