This is a CPD session focused on the theme of de-escalation. It took around 45 minutes, but could have taken the whole hour if we had the time. The PowerPoint is 15 slides including: What is de-escalation? A definition of de-escalation Stages of escalation De-escalation strategies De-escalation strategies if things have escalated Reframing language including examples Reflecting on reframing language Role playing This has been tried and tested and works really well, year on year.

Here we have a very powerful and engaging assembly that I ran for all year groups throughout the school (Year 7 to 13) - it shows just how diverse the content is, and the fact it is suitable for all! It covers some really important topics, and it is literally ready to go. Content includes: Definition of Social Media What do they post on Social Media? Once it is out there… (once posted, it is out there for all to see) The impact on others (suicide, depression, etc) What is a troll (video) Case Study - more information about a victim Facts and statistics about a Study on Trolling The impact on them (reputation, jobs, etc) What the police say GDPR Caroline Flack - including videos What to do if they see something potentially harmful The assembly worked really well - it took roughly 30 minutes but could have taken longer if we had more time available. Thanks!

Here we have a workbook, based around the theme of Bullying. It has been created for students to complete if they have been involved in an incident of this nature, helping them to reflect on their behaviour and make more positive choices moving forward. It has been a very successful tool at my school, when students complete this alongside a member of the Pastoral or Safeguarding Team. An excellent resource, which is ready to go. However it will come in Word format so you can add your own school logo or make any necessary tweaks/amendments.

This went down well with students, and the following week we launched the ‘Kindness Card’.

Hello, This is a script I wrote for a staff play a few years ago; it was such a huge success! It can be used for both staff plays and for using in class with students. It would work perfectly when studying Pantomime. Students and staff loved the play and thought it was very funny. It can be edited based on your needs and with some additions to relate directly to your institution. Enjoy!
