De-escalation strategies
De-escalation strategies if things have escalated

This has been tried and tested and works really well, year on year. ECTs really enjoyed this session too!
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!

An assembly on the theme of ‘Acts of Kindness’. The assembly has easy to understand information, but will need some amending on a couple of slides where you talk about your specific school and your influences growing up.
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!
