Exclusions - Bringing the numbers down

Recorded webinar - 22nd January 2021

A Worth Publishing / CourseWeDo webinar that will address the painful issue of school exclusion. We know that when we think from an attachment aware, trauma informed perspective, exclusion is highly likely to reinforce the cycle of rejection and isolation for children and young people whose challenging behaviour has brought them to that point.

 Can we say confidently that their background and circumstances will inevitably be characterised by adverse childhood experiences? And if so, how has the communication of their distress through their behaviour not been picked up earlier, and addressed? What are we excluding them to? Can exclusion ever be constructive?

 And what do staff need, especially those alongside pupils who seem to be on that trajectory, to help them avert it? How can we communicate attachment aware and trauma informed ways of thinking to colleagues who see behaviour differently?

This is a unique opportunity to spend time with Dr Heather Geddes who has spent her working life enabling children and young people settle to learn, especially those whose attachment difficulties and experience of extremely difficult early lives first moved her to focus on their predicament and challenges. B.A.S.E.® Babywatching programme creates unique experiences for whole classes, whilst also embracing and supporting the journey of each unique pupil. This deceptively simple programme creates conscious and subconscious links for individual children and groups, because the atmosphere it creates that has a huge impact. Children (and adults) are engaged and drawn in by the process: it provides opportunities for sustained shared watching, talking. listening, and critical thinking; and it provides focus on the development of relationships through attunement and empathy. In gentle, unobtrusive ways, the B.A.S.E.® Babywatching programme enhances pupils and community experience and capacity in a lasting manner.
