SUMMARY:Understanding anxiety
DESCRIPTION:Delivered via Zoom Webinar  \nIn this practical workshop session we will explore ways of including anxious children in mainstream schools and settings. The session will be values based and practical and will aim to allow the sharing of experiences and good practice as well as promoting innovative approaches to inclusion through the design of best practice. \nFamily perspectives and experiences will also be explored. This is not a ‘medical model’ day on anxiety.  \nThe course answers the questions : \n•What is anxiety? \n•How do we go about including anxious children? \n•Can we understand more deeply what is going on underneath concerning behaviours?

SUMMARY:Movement differences - a fresh view on ADHD and ASC
DESCRIPTION:Delivered via Zoom Webinar \nUnderstanding movement differences in a non medical way can be key to understanding and including people who otherwise may seem very challenging and difficult. All people with autism\, labels of ADHD  but also those with labels such as Tourettes have movement differences creating difficulties in: \n•Stopping\n•Starting\n•Switching\n•Combining\n•Continuing\n•Executing complex movements \nAll of us in the world moving around in human bodies experience difficulties in one or more of these areas. But some people have much greater issues – the volume has been turned up and the difficulty is much greater. In this workshop we will explore and understand these difficulties better… practical strategies can then follow.

SUMMARY:Inclusion Facilitation  – the ideal follow up to person centred planning
DESCRIPTION:Delivered via Zoom Webinar \nInclusion Facilitation (IF) is an approach to enhancing the inclusion\, in a mainstream community of any child or young person who is experiencing difficulties in the world because of disability\, personal crisis or because of their challenging behaviour towards others. The IF approach works by mobilising the young person’s natural supports to provide support and engage with the person in difficulty. \nInclusion Facilitation is designed to create a better life for an individual by the provision of an intense input designed to bring about social change. This usually entails a series of visits focused on getting the person out and about to increase confidence\, social skills and presence in their local community and to pursue goals and dreams. Uniquely\, the work is carried out under the close clinical supervision of a practicing psychologist. \nInclusion values underpinning this work \n•The Intentional Building of Relationships –‘Inclusion Facilitation’ work as an example \n•Not doing it alone – The Importance of Teams in developing inclusive practice \n•Practical setting up and running of IF work \n•Lessons learned \n•Stories of IF work

SUMMARY:Chairing meetings
DESCRIPTION:Delivered via Zoom Webinar \nMeetings can be dreadful and bad chairing makes them worse. \nOn this day we look at transformational person-centred approaches to approaching the chairing of meetings. We provide deeper insights into the psychological processes that make this role challenging. ‘Best Saves’ for those really difficult moments when chairing meetings are creatively explored. We provide a practical\, skill based and creative approach best delivered over 2 days. \nWe will cover: \n•Setting a Good tone/Exploring the ‘whole elephant’ – story so far of experience in chairing meetings – good and bad meetings – graphiced timeline and highs and lows of story so far \n•Meetings I do not want – negative chairing…. \n•Thinking Hats and Values – linked to role of chair – where are hats when things are going well and where are they when things are not? \n•Our shared vision for great meetings and excellent chairing? \n•Personal planning for future chairing – what do I need to get better at – what should I manage? \n•Specific skill teaching – re when things go wrong – eg tears\, personal attacks\, talking in side conversations\, silent members\, lack of contribution\, anger and so on…‘best saves’ explored with group – using live role play – with one chair \n•Solution Circle demonstration – chairing skills/problem solving modelled – approach when teams stuck… \n•Emotional elements of chairing – ‘its not personal’ – splitting\, projection\, transference explored and ‘handling projections’ activity \n•Vision and Road Blocks – small groups chaired and minuted – creative problem solving – Blocks to vision of great meetings creatively removed or worked around

SUMMARY:Creating a ‘Welcome Team’ in school
DESCRIPTION:Delivered via Zoom Webinar \nThis is a practical ‘non-medical’ workshop for front line practitioners working with children and young people that will find starting at a new school or setting difficult.  \nDrawing from international research and literature\, reports from inclusive schools and our own experience over many years as educational psychologists of the challenges of children with major social and emotional needs\, we will explore together what the best practice can and could look like.  \nWe explore: \n1.Creating a welcoming team or ‘committee’ of young people \n2.Training the team in effective ‘welcoming’ and supporting \n3.Building a support circle around a new child and running this circle effectively \n4.Auditing what makes for a successful welcome of any new child at the school \n5.Facilitating the involvement of young people in successful welcoming activities and preparation \n6.Links between this work and building ‘circles of friends’ and peer mediator training

SUMMARY:Restorative Justice in schools
DESCRIPTION:Delivered via Zoom Webinar \nA “Restorative Solution” is a non-adversarial approach to conflict resolution where the person who has done something wrong in a given situation becomes accountable to those s/he has harmed. This person is then given the opportunity to “make up” for their inappropriate behaviour through agreement and reparation. An intervention can involve a formal conference\, or it can be a simple conversation in a corridor or playground. Restorative Interventions work with all ages of young people\, and the techniques can be used in parental meetings\, can prevent exclusions and challenge poor behaviour. Our feedback tells us that when problems between young people are addressed in this way\, those problems rarely reoccur. \nWe will cover: \n•What are restorative solutions? \n•Background and detailed teaching of processes \n•Inclusion values underpinning this work \n•Processes modelled and opportunities to try process out \n•Practical setting up of restorative conferences \n•Stories and outcomes

SUMMARY:Building community circles
DESCRIPTION:Delivered via Zoom Webinar \nThe purpose of community circles is to bring people from a local community together to share their skills\, talents\, gifts and resources. This idea is based upon the premise that ALL of us need three things in our lives to make us happy and fulfilled: these are money\, friendship and meaning. We believe that everyone needs community\, everyone needs to be heard and everyone needs to have fun. \nCommunity Circles are based upon reciprocity and the assumption that EVERYONE has both gifts and needs – whether these are labelled or not. The circles adopt the fundamental value of inclusion that ‘all means all’\, no one is excluded from community circles\, instead the circle members work out how to include everyone equally and safely. \nCommunity circles provide a great foundation or starting point from which to explore connections\, build relationships\, locate resources and share skills. These circles will be a particularly important resource for Brokers and the people that they work for. They provide a safe forum in which people can meet and friendships can start\, a natural reservoir of people and relationships where people can be invited to offer their time and capacity. \nWe will cover: \n•Understanding ordinary needs – plus the true dimensions of social inclusion \n•Building relationships \n•Creating natural circles of support \n•Creating a community circle

SUMMARY:Peer mediation in schools
DESCRIPTION:Delivered via Zoom Webinar \nPeer mediation or peer counselling is an approach to impacting on bullying in primary and secondary schools by training pupils to be ‘Peer Mediators’ or ‘counsellors’. This well proven\, highly effective method of impacting on school based bullying is still viewed by some as radical. We can provide training for staff or direct training with students across the age range – typically delivered over 6 short high impact\, interactive learning workshops. \nFor staff training\, participants are introduced to the key components of successful schemes. Our trainers have first hand experience of setting up school based schemes and sustaining these over time.  \nEnjoy participating in a multi media workshop that will challenge\, entertain and reach for your emotions. Watch young people doing their stuff! \nThe course answers the questions : \n•What do you do with major bullying problems in school? \n•Practically how do we go about recruiting and training pupils as counsellors? \n•Will pupils be hurt if we involve them with bullies?

SUMMARY:Person Centred mindset – radical change in thinking
DESCRIPTION:Delivered via Zoom Webinar \nLearn how to facilitate a family\, a work team or an organisation to think together around their preferred future or about a particular challenge or issue. Here is an opportunity to experience first hand the person centred\, futures planning tool – (Pearpoint\, Forest et. al. 1989). \nThis is a process not a training day. Let us facilitate your planning and refocus your story whilst strengthening you and your group. \n•Is your team or family stuck? \n•Want to move on\, but haunted by the past and cannot get any useful dialogue started about the future? \n•Facing a challenging transition into a new school or setting? \n•Leaving school? \n•Bored with annual reviews\, transition plans and review meetings? \n•Want to find a way of making meetings and planning feel more real and engaging? \n•Need an approach\, which engages a young person respectfully together with his or her family and friends? \n•Want the ultimate visual record of the process of a meeting\, which will help everyone\, keep track? \n•Want to problem solve and plan for the future of a small or large group\, service or organisation up to the size of an LA \nDrawing on the planning tool (Pearpoint\, Forest and OBrien 1997) and other facilitation sources we use both process and graphic facilitation to enable the group to build their picture of what they would love to see happening within their organisation/community in the future and we encourage this to be a positive naming\, not just a list of the things they want to avoid.

SUMMARY:Ask the children – the power of pupil participation
DESCRIPTION:Delivered via Zoom Webinar \nLocal authorities are being encouraged to seek the views of young people in relation to the services they receive. Schools and the whole range of support services (e.g. behaviour support\, youth offending teams\, social services\, CAMHS etc.) are being expected to routinely ask young people for their views. This goes beyond involving young people in plans that concern them e.g care plans\, individual education plans\, pastoral support plans etc.  \nThis training will focus on how young people can be effectively engaged in giving their views and will present a model for use in evaluating services to young people based on the concept of resilience. This model enables young people to be clear about what has helped and hindered them in being able to overcome difficulties. It also provides a framework for evaluating the extent to which services are reducing risk and increasing protective factors to enable young people to develop the resilience. \nThe course answers the questions : \n•How can we truly involve pupils? \n•Practically how do we go about listening to pupils views? \n•What if we do not like what they tell us? \n•How can we involve our most disaffected young people?

SUMMARY:Circle of Friends
DESCRIPTION:Delivered via Zoom Webinar \n‘Circle of Friends’ is an approach to enhancing the inclusion\, in a mainstream setting\, of any child or young person who is experiencing difficulties in school because of disability\, personal crisis or because of their challenging behaviour towards others. The ‘circle of friends’ approach works by mobilising the young person’s peers to provide support and engage in problem solving with the person in difficulty. \nOver the past 12 years Colin Newton and Derek Wilson have been encouraging the use of ‘circle of friends’ in a wide variety of primary and secondary schools\, often with very successful outcomes. Some of these are described in their books ‘Circles of Friends’\, (Folens\, 1999) and ‘Creating Circles of Friends’ (Inclusive Solutions\, 2005). This is an excellent opportunity to learn from the educational psychologists who brought this Department of Education endorsed approach to the UK. \nLearn how to build teams around challenging pupils by drawing on a resource which is always there…. other children. Enjoy participating in a multi-media workshop that will challenge\, entertain and reach for your emotions. Circles of support are for us all\, for life…. and they work! \nWe will cover: \n•The importance of Welcome \n•Inclusion values underpinning this work \n•The Intentional Building of Relationships – ‘Circle of Friends’ work as an example \n•Not doing it alone – The Importance of Teams in developing inclusive practice \n•Practical setting up of circles of friends \n•Lessons learned \n•Stories of circles in primary and secondary mainstream schools
