'Why do they do that?' - Understanding challenging behaviour
Teachers and parents frequently find themselves asking, ’Why do they do that?’, but there are some children whose behaviour is so challenging that staff continually find themselves at a loss at how to deal effectively with these pupils and to get them to engage in school life.
Our presentation, ideal for Inset days, sheds light on the reasons for challenging behaviour and provides effective strategies for dealing with the most difficult students.
Designated teachers for LAC are expected to keep up to date with the skills, knowledge and training to respond to the specific needs of LAC and to develop other staff’s understanding in areas such as:
- The emotional, psychological and social implications of separation from birth families and the reason for this.
-
The reasons why many LAC under-achieve, including the impact of loss and attachment
Our specialist Inset days will ensure that all staff are aware of and trained in these important areas.
