Behaviour is communication, it doesn't just come out of nowhere and is only the tip of the iceberg. With more than 40 pupils being excluded daily for behaviour-related problems, it is evident that the system is not effectively addressing the issue.

We have another new guest speaker this week, Adele Bates a Behaviour and Education Specialist! Adele joins Dale to discuss 'Engaging Pupils with SEMH and other behaviour needs'. It requires a tailored approach that takes into account the individual needs and strengths of each pupil. Adele takes us through some strategies that can be effective in engaging pupils with SEMH and other behaviour needs, such as:

• Building relationships
• Understanding neurological development
• Rules/non-negotiables
• Regulation

Listen to hear how engaging pupils with SEMH and other behaviour needs requires a compassionate and flexible approach, that takes into account the individual needs and strengths of each pupil.
