About this course


Circle of Adults is an in-depth process that supports professional teams to problem solve together around a young person presenting with complex social, emotional and behavioural needs. This reflective problem solving process differs from other person centred planning processes in that the child and family are not present. This process is for stuck teams trying to figure out issues where they need to be very honest with each other, share their emotions, state their greatest fears and struggles in a safe situation. Whilst it is good practice to let a family know that they are being talked about in a meeting - they need to know that this is the professionals sorting themselves out for their benefit and not a time for them to participate. If they insist on being present then talk to us about our emerging Family Circles work.
This innovative process enables adults involved in working with the young person to reflect and hypothesise about this young person's needs. This leads to joint problem-solving around ways forward to support this young person in their educational setting.
Circle of Adults uses a structured process and graphic facilitation to guide staff through a set of key questions to reach a deeper understanding of a young person's behaviour and needs. This deeper understanding is used to generate new strategies for the team's work with the young person.
The process takes around 90 minutes.
In this training you will see us modelling this way of working in a school in the real world but also using Zoom in virtual space!
This process can save pupils from permanent exclusion and staff from deep emotional pain!

About this course


In this course we will explore how we have attempted to build inclusive circles of support around individuals and contrast this with a radical approach to hospitality and community building - the Community Circle.
The course features the high quality video that can also be found in the the 35 minute video training guide course but provides much more besides.
The 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 being money, friendship and meaning. We believe that everyone needs a community, everyone needs to be heard and everyone needs to have fun.


Community 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, rather the circle members work out how to include everyone equally and safely instead.


A community circle is made up of participants and allies from the local community. The meeting starts with everyone sharing food and conversations. Next the group comes together in a circle so that everyone can see each other and share what is good and new in their lives with everyone getting a turn to be listened to. 'New and Good' breaks the habit of thinking about and acting from what's wrong, it is an exercise of giving and receiving attention with one another and it provides a strong foundation of strengths from which we can think about and tackle difficulties. The group is then asked the question: what do they want, need or have to offer?


Community 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.


To be successful we begin with a belief in inclusion. A belief that:
We are all born 'in'.
All means all.
Everyone needs to belong.
Everyone is ready.
Everyone needs support.
Everyone can communicate.
Everyone can contribute.
Together we are better.

The purpose of this course


In this course we introduce you to the Circle of Friends approach. 
The idea is to build a team around a child recruited from their peer group - encourage acceptance and problem solving and watch for the change! This approach could change the life of a child you really care about or one you find particularly challenging.
Additionally, our book 'Creating Circles of Friends' (worth £17.99) is available free to all participants - unless you have a free place via your Local Authority.

What is a PATH?
PATH is a creative planning tool that utilises graphic facilitation to collect information and develop positive future plans. PATH goes directly to the future and implements backwards planning to create a step by step path to a desirable future. (Inclusion Press, 2000). These tools were developed by Jack Pearpoint, Marsha Forest and John O’Brien to help marginalised people be included in society and to enable people to develop a shared vision for the future. 
PATH can be used with individuals and their circle of support, families teams and organisations. 


PATH is a creative planning tool that uses both process and graphic facilitation to create a shared vision of a positive future for individuals, families, teams and whole organisations. PATH draws on people’s ability to visualise different futures and to plan backwards from a future vision or dream and tell stories about how that vision can come into being.
The PATH session will be led by two trained facilitators – a process facilitator who guides people through the stages and ensures that the person is at the centre throughout, and a graphic facilitator who creates a large graphic record of each of the steps in the PATH.
The key outcomes of a PATH are as follows:
A shared vision within the group of a positive future for the pathfinder
A commitment to invest in moving towards this future
A sense of how to do this
This tool, like MAP, uses both process and graphic facilitation to help a group develop a shared vision and plan what they will need to do together to move towards that vision.

About this course


Sensory super sensitivities are a key area to explore when planning and delivering the inclusion of a child or young person. Sometimes an autistic child may behave in a ways that are hard to understand.


Often this is linked to super sensory sensitivities. A person who struggles to deal with everyday sensory information can experience sensory, or information overload. Too much can cause stress, anxiety, and even physical pain. This can result in withdrawal, shut down, challenging behaviour or a meltdown.


'The human brain receives all of the information that we know about the world and each other through our sensory system. There is no other way for this information to be gathered. People on the autism spectrum describe their experience in this world as that of being overwhelmed by the sensory stimulation they receive from the environments they are forced to deal with. Touch is like a tidal wave, sounds are too loud, language distorted, vision fragmented, focusing on each piece separately rather than the whole, odors often sickening and tastes unbearable. These descriptions have now been validated through research on the specific construction of the brain'.

We all have different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives which mean that we can all react differently to situations at work, which can also affect the relationships we have. This diversity of experience and thought is a good thing, but on occasion it can also lead to misunderstanding and conflict between individuals which need effective resolution strategies. 
Conflict can have a significant impact on colleagues and the business financially and emotionally. It is important that as a manager you have the tools to resolve conflict before it becomes an issue. 

What does the course cover?
What is Workplace conflict?
What causes conflict in the workplace?
The effects of conflict on colleagues and the business

Sales and trade exist because people need and are looking for that which is better than what they have. Sometimes, they don’t even know that they have a need.
The critical piece of this process is “connecting the dots.” We must demonstrate that we have listened respectfully, and, as experts, show how the needs are tied directly to our answer. Just because they have a need and we have a solution doesn’t mean that it’s a guaranteed sale.
Connecting their needs to our solution is precisely what the Sales Presentation Skills class is all about.
Outcomes – Participants will be able to:
Research and understand each unique customer to demonstrate expertise;
Conduct productive meetings to discover useful information to formulate the most effective solution(s);
Propose plans that are fully aligned with the target’s situation and needs;
Increase abilities to engage and motivate the prospect/client through compelling presentations;
Convey emotional intelligence enthusiasm and sincerity to get client buy-in;
Strengthen professionalism through dynamic story-telling, elevating the level of rapport; and
Create positive messages even from negative, modeling a problem-solving, can-do attitude for the audience.
 
Online Format—Sales Presentation Skills is a 4-hour interactive virtual class.
Register for this class and you will be sent ONLINE login instructions prior to the class date.



Overall, your professionalism, your teaching style, and the content of the course kept it interesting and easy to follow. We believe in what you have taught us, having tried it first hand, I can honestly say, your course works; your methods and ideas have proven themselves.
