SEND Clinic ONLINE:

 De-escalation strategies and reflections - Tuesday 4 November: 3:30pm - 5:00pm 

This session will focus on De-escalation strategies for children and young people. We will discuss what a child or young person's behaviour may be communication, explore how sensory stimulus can impact a child's behaviour and consider ways to prevent and de-escalate behaviours which challenge us. The session will include a combination of content delivery and networking, allowing time for attendees to learn from each other and take new ideas back into their daily practice.

Transitions, supporting transitions no matter how big or small 

  • Tuesday 3 March: 3:30pm - 5:00pm 

This session will focus on different transition types for children and young people. We will consider different types of transitions and how children/ young people may feel about these, based on research. We will explore ideas to support positive endings and new beginnings whilst giving attendees space to reflect on their practice both individually and within their organisations. The session will include a combination of content delivery and networking, allowing time for attendees to learn from each other and take new ideas back into their daily practice.
