Stoke Primary School recognises the importance of strong Mental Health. Teams of staff have been trained in both Youth Mental Health First Aid and Mental Health First Aid. Where a child’s behaviour is considered high level concern, Stoke Primary School has a range of systems to support the required improvement. Teachers need to recognise that effective conditions for learning (planning, pitch, pace, participation etc) will impact positively on general classroom behaviour.

We launched our new topic 'Deadly 60' by thinking about what you might see in animal poo depending if they are a carnivore, herbivore or omnivore. Physical restraint is only used to prevent likely injury to the child concerned or to others, or likely serious damage to property. Restraint is not used as a punishment, as a means to enforce compliance with instructions, or in response to challenging behaviour which does not give rise to reasonable expectation of injury to someone or serious damage to property. (For schools which are children’s homes, this does not prevent the use of restraint in circumstances permitted by s550A of the Education Act 1996.) Measures of control, discipline and restraint used by the home are made clear to the placing authority, child, parent/s or carers before or, in an emergency placement, at the time the child is to move into the home.

The registered person has a clear written policy, procedures and guidance for staff based on a code of conduct setting out the control, disciplinary and restraint measures permitted and emphasising the need to reinforce positive messages to children for the achievement of acceptable behaviour.Expert Witness in cases involving education, health & safety, learning disability, behaviour management, risk management, safeguarding children & adults, balanced reduction in risk, restraint and restriction, guidance and training in personal safety and physical restraint. He went on to work with Team Teach Ltd, writing and producing training manuals, course workbooks and videos of physical techniques.

Measures of control and disciplinary measures are based on establishing positive relationships with children which are designed to help the child. Such measures are fair and consistently applied. They also encourage reparation and restitution and reduce the likelihood of negative behaviour becoming the focus of attention and subsequent disruption to the placement. School is a safe place for children where they will be listened to and challenges discussed openly.The certificates are presented to the children in achievement assemblies as a phase or whole school and then postcards are posted home for parents to celebrate the achievement with them. Children are encouraged to develop a proper awareness of their rights and responsibilities. Staff and children alike are clear that each individual has rights and responsibilities in relation to those who live in the home, those who work there and people in the community. Where there has been physical intervention, the child will have the right to be examined by a registered nurse or medical practitioner within 24 hours.
