Workshop 4 Title: Leading on Behaviour Support
Presenters: Lia Copestake and Amanda Fower
Workshop description
The aim of the workshop is to reiterate the role that the SENCO has in supporting and challenging all staff to better understand behaviour and its function. The SENCO must be the advocate for the pupil whilst also supporting staff to understand what challenging behaviour might indicate:
* Questions for SENCOs to use with staff to reflect upon concerns with challenging behaviour
* Building positive and meaningful relationships with all pupils
* Consistency of language used around challenging behaviour
* Trauma and shame – how this affects all people (especially pupils)
