<p>This is a Block Based Therapy resource pack which is designed to aid any practitioner to successfully deliver a course of play sessions similar to the popular “Lego Therapy”. The core contents of the pack can be tailored to different age groups or abilities by the practitioner. It has multiple pages which contain a brief introduction and then explains each team members role and job description.<br />
It also has visual images to aid with colours, shapes and questions that could be asked to help the children engage and communicate with each other. There is also a tracker sheet which is great for following each child as they develop or it highlights if they need additional support. Lastly, the practitioner should have basic knowledge of play therapy and if not this pack could further develop their own personal skill set.<br />
<em><strong>The video shows how a play session can be conducted and how each member interacts with each other</strong></em></p>

<p><strong>Department for Education, Published 27 November 2014 states;</strong></p>
<p>The Department for Education has published guidance on promoting British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain.</p>
<p>The guidance aims to help both independent and state-maintained schools understand their responsibilities in this area. All have a duty to ‘actively promote’ the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. These values were first set out by the government in the ‘Prevent’ strategy in 2011.</p>
<p>Until now schools have been required to ‘respect’ these values, but as a result of changes brought in earlier in the year all schools must now have a clear strategy for embedding these values and show how their work with pupils has been effective in doing so. In a letter to the Education Select Committee in March, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Schools Lord Nash explained the changes were designed to “tighten up the standards on pupil welfare to improve safeguarding, and the standards on spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils to strengthen the barriers to extremism”.</p>
<p>Ofsted and the independent inspectorates now take the work of schools in this area into account during inspections.</p>
