After the Bell - EduSafe: Behaviour as Communication S9 E11

Welcome back to After the Bell, presented by Connex Academy.

At Connex, we're deeply committed to supporting schools and their staff with comprehensive training to ensure the safety and well-being of the children they serve. In this episode, we're joined by Debbie Innis Turnill, a seasoned educator and safeguarding consultant, discussing the powerful concept that behaviour is a form of communication.

We explore how unmet needs, from basic necessities to complex emotional requirements, manifest in a child's behaviour. Debbie advocates for a shift in perspective, emphasizing the importance of understanding children as individuals facing unique challenges rather than viewing them as "challenging."

We also delve into practical strategies for schools to teach, not just manage, their students, including trauma-informed practices, attachment-aware approaches, and co-regulation. Discover more insights by tuning into our recorded webinar with Debbie, and visit Connex-academy.com for information on our DfE-approved Senior Mental Health Lead training.
