Agenda |
Within the SEN code of Practice, Behaviour Emotional and Social Difficulties (BESD) has been replaced by the new term Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH).The recent report “Mental Health and Behaviour in Schools” builds on the above theme by outlining a range of risk factors as well as a number of key recommendations for effective support. In addition, it will be important to consider how the new Ofsted framework will interpret the provision of “Personal Development, Behaviour and Welfare” during a school inspection.
The key objectives of this course will be as follows: a. To consider the issue of SEMH as it relates to the new SEN code of practice and the Mental Health and Behaviour in schools report. b. To develop Personal Development Behaviour and Welfare within school settings. c. To provide a range of systems and strategies to effectively manage specific SEMH issues. The content of the course will include:
Consider recent legislation, documents and procedures regarding Social, Emotional and Mental Health in schools.
Demystifya range of issues within this term including; ADHD, Bipolar Disorder Conduct Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
Structure, Flexibility, Rapport, Relationships and Role Models will be outlined as a proactive management model for the issues within the SEMH spectrum.
A range of approaches for setting boundaries while adapting to the specific needs of children and young persons with Social, Emotional and Mental Health.
Techniques for developing effective rapport with disaffected children and young people will be outlined, along with issues of building relationships within peer groups and developing effective communication with parents and carers.
