When children show extreme behaviours like aggression, refusal, or emotional meltdowns, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and wonder what you're doing wrong. The truth is, these behaviours are communication – they're telling you about unmet needs, triggers, and feelings the child can't yet express. You need practical strategies to understand what's really happening and respond in ways that actually work.

This is a recording of a past webinar session. As a senior leader, you are likely called upon throughout the day to support staff to de-escalate in situations where a child is displaying an extreme behaviour. Many senior leaders are also finding that members of staff are asking for senior leadership support much earlier on or for situations that they once would have addressed themselves prior to the pandemic. In this webinar, we will consider: 

• How to respond to extreme behaviours as a senior leader: working with staff, the child and their parents/caregivers 

• How to promote teachers’ autonomy to address extreme behaviours to reduce the levels of escalation to SLT 

• Practical strategies to support staff to address a wider range of behaviours autonomously 

• Normalising asking for support when staff are struggling in a situation: Raising awareness of the Crisis Curve 

This is an introductory course for all staff and volunteers working with children in schools and colleges. It is important that all staff understand the risks that children face when they become homeless, or if they are risk of homeless. In this course, you will learn how many people are homeless in the UK and some of the things that might make people more vulnerable to homelessness. We will consider what risks children may face when they become homeless and finally, what to do if you are worried about a family or a child being at risk of homelessness.
