Although legislation\, such as the Equality Act\, or the Statutory Guidance for Supporting Pupils with Medical Conditions in Schools\, aim to protect the rights of this vulnerable population\, implementation remains a challenge. Erika (newly qualified EP) will look at some gaps in practice as well as areas of good practice. Additionally\, we will reflect on moving away from a medical perspective towards a more holistic approach to support students with long-term health conditions.\nAudience: educational psychologists\, teachers\, named medical lead in schools\, school nurses\, school staff working with pupils with health-related needs\, SENCOs\, healthcare professionals.

However\, there is a large range of ways in which it is used and understood. This makes evaluating its efficacy difficult. My research therefore sought to identify what the effective features of consultation are by linking observed features to changes in agreed outcomes for children and young people. Interviews with EPs and observations of consultations were analysed and the features which were more likely to lead to change were identified.

This webinar is run by a parent and founder of the group LongCovidKids\, Fran Simpson\, who has been experiencing this and sharing her findings since late 2020. She will be presenting the lived experience of families\, including the range of symptoms that children are suffering from and the responses from the medical professionals. She will also look at best practices for working with these families\, from the perspectives of the families themselves\, as well as supportive practitioners and researchers that have been involved in this developing situation. \nThis webinar will provide practitioners with an overview of Long COVID in children – what we know so far (and what we don’t)\, what may support people (and what really won’t!) using the most current empirical evidence. It will provide some examples of real life situations and feedback from the lived experience of members of LongCovidKids. It will explore the difficulties of living with the associated uncertainties and consider ways in which this may be addressed. It will briefly touch on the need for practitioners to be client centred\, and validate the lived experiences and knowledge of the families with care taken not to reduce the condition.

Sarah will explore the key themes arising from the research\, which extend beyond the purely ‘medical’. She will then describe how the themes were linked to Self Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci\, 2017) to the create a reflective framework which demonstrates how the three basic psychological needs; autonomy\, relatedness and competence were met or frustrated for the young people in the study. Finally she will consider how this framework could be further developed to help school staff gain a greater awareness of the broader psychosocial impacts of having a chronic health condition at school\, promote person-centred planning and support the development of holistic and bespoke support for this cohort of young people.

CFS/ME is thought to impact up to 2% of secondary school children. However\, little research exists into the experience of secondary education with the condition. My research was an exploratory study to address this research gap. I interviewed young adults about their time at secondary school with a diagnosis of CFS/ME and analysed the interviews using IPA. I will share reflections on my findings\, including possible facilitators and barriers to education with CFS/ME\, and how these can be supported.

The session explores the various ways in which the term wellbeing can be defined\, making the case that a clearly explicated and workable definition of wellbeing is essential if we are to make meaningful progress toward improved mental health and wellbeing for a school community. We will then explore the conception of wellbeing adopted by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and allied models\, which emphases connection with personal value\, values-based action and flexibly and openly relating to our inner world – to our thoughts\, emotions and sensations. Finally\, the session outlines a wide range of ways in which approaches based on Psychological Flexibility can be applied to promote and improve the wellbeing of children\, school staff and parents and to promote whole-school community cohesion and belongingness. \nRegister here URL:https://edpsy.org.uk/event/the-psychologically-flexible-school-a-whole-community-approach-to-wellbeing-in-education-with-dr-duncan-gillard-01-22/ LOCATION:...

Pupils with medical conditions are likely to be victims of an education opportunity gap which is unfair and far from inclusive. Pupils who miss the most education require more support and resources than their peers to succeed. This webinar offers professionals practical solutions. \nRegister here URL:https://edpsy.org.uk/event/equity-in-education-for-children-with-medical-needs-with-stephen-lowe-headteacher-oxfordshire-hospital-school/ LOCATION:...

The approach recognises that sexual abuse and exploitation occur in a context of significant adversity\, and is based in Trauma Informed Practice which recognises common responses to adversity in childhood are traumatic\, and such responses in association with a variety of social\, psychological and genetic influences can trigger an extensive set of complex overlapping physical\, behavioural and mental health responses. Trauma-Informed Practice TIP advocates that services should recognise the traumatic base of the problems presented to them and adapt their practice to encompass this understanding. The Hope for Children and Families Intervention Resources are a set of step-by-step guides\, focusing on relevant themes\, including Working with Child Sexual Abuse and Addressing Emotional and Traumatic Responses. Each module includes guidance notes\, scripts\, activities\, and worksheets that can be organised into a customised treatment menu for each child or young person. They are designed to help practitioners from all types of services\, training and levels of experience. \n20% discount available quoting hcuk20edpsy URL:https://edpsy.org.uk/event/therapeutic-work-with-children-and-young-people-suffering-child-sexual-abuse-and-exploitation-02-22/ LOCATION:...

DESCRIPTION:Society members: £58.20 \nThis webinar unpacks the complex relationship between social media use and adolescent mental health. \nSocial media has long been blamed for causing a crisis in adolescent mental health. But this is an oversimplification\, and the scientific evidence indicates a far more nuanced picture of this relationship. \nThis webinar aims to provide clarity on this topic\, covering the latest findings from psychological research. The webinar is relevant for anyone working with adolescents\, particularly in educational and clinical settings\, and will provide attendees with a more accurate – and more hopeful – understanding of the role social media plays in young people’s lives.

Viewed through a CHAT lens\, the educational contexts within which Trainee Educational Psychologists learn\, and Educational Psychologists work\, can be viewed as interacting activity systems (Leadbetter\, 2017). \nThis complex landscape can be characterised as having tensions and contradictions within and across children’s services as professionals work collaboratively to support children and families. Tensions occur around professional roles\, tools and resources used\, and the policy/practice/ethical frameworks that underpin professional activity. CHAT conceptual and analytical tools are useful to gain insight into how professionals understand and have a shared purpose or object of their collaborative practice\, the actions undertaken and with whom\, and the tools used to achieve this purpose.
