Anxiety doesn’t knock before entering — and for many children and young people, the COVID-19 pandemic opened the door wide. Disrupted routines, uncertainty, isolation, and overwhelming media exposure created the perfect storm for rising emotional distress. This course is crafted to help you make sense of the signs, behaviours and emotional responses that young individuals may display as a result of pandemic-related anxiety. Whether you're a teacher, parent, caregiver or simply working with young minds, understanding the why behind the worry is the first step towards meaningful support. With a balanced, informative tone, this course explores how anxiety manifests in younger age groups and how the pandemic altered their coping mechanisms and social connections.

In line with OFSTED expectations make sure NQTs are up to speed on effective behaviour management and relationship building in the classroom. Course Category Behaviour and Relationships Meeting emotional needs Inclusion Description This is our lead workshop/training day on behaviour and relationship work aimed at NQTs. Recent OFSTED changes make Behaviour and Classroom management of NQTs a particular focus for inspections. Are your NQTs teaching the behaviours children need to succeed? Can they articulate these behaviours? This training provides a values primer and a practical guide to successful innovative strategies for improving behaviour and strengthening relationships for challenging children and young people of all ages. Not just another day on ‘Behaviour Management’ – our day goes well beyond a rewards and sanctions approach to ‘behaviour’. We will be focused on those young people for whom rewards and punishments do not always work and who confuse the adults who work with them. We aim to take a relationships based approach and to give those attending an opportunity to think more deeply about why young people do the things they do and what our part as adults is in creating, sustaining and changing these behaviours. The day gives those present opportunities to reflect on their attitudes and practice in relation to children’s behaviour and relationship building. If your usual approaches to managing behaviour aren’t working with particular individuals then take a tour through this range of cutting edge strategies for bringing about positive behaviour change, and for meeting challenging emotional needs.
