Advisory teacher with extensive experience of working in Newham schools with children who have SEMH needs.

Specialist practitioner with extensive experience working with children with SEMH across East London schools and settings.

 

What we do:

  • Support staff in mainstream schools/settings to meet the needs of children with social, emotional, mental health difficulties and challenging behaviour.
  • We observe pupils, consult with staff and meet with parent/carers to develop an understanding of the child’s behaviour and needs.
  • We put together, with you, a package of interventions to be implemented by school/setting-based staff, supported by a BSS member of staff.
  • Interventions may include: in-class modelling of target behaviours; developing systems of individual rewards and sanctions; 1:1 and/or small group sessions focusing on play skills, social skills, anger management or building confidence.
  • We can support you with baseline assessments, planning, meetings, producing reports and measuring progress.
  • Develop and deliver bespoke training based on the needs of your staff.

The benefits of our input:

  • Increase in schools’ knowledge, expertise and capacity to meet SEMH needs
  • Professional development and enhanced staff skills
  • Improvement in behaviour for individual pupils and their families
  • Improvement in academic progress
  • Improvement in inclusive practice
  • Reduction in number of suspensions

Packages:

  • We work in 3 hour sessions, which we will book in advance with you
  • The content of these sessions will be planned and agreed beforehand.
  • Parental consent is required for direct work with children
