With children’s mental health at a critical level, how do we support children to express, understand and be able to regulate their feelings to manage in the learning environment? How do we ensure children’s voices are really heard and are at the heart of inclusion and intervention?

It highlights the importance of a safe and secure environment with trusted adults so that children feel listened to as they develop the social and emotional skills for life and learning.

Alison Grimshaw & Yvonne Monaghan - The missing piece of the Jigsaw – Sensory Integration Difficulties
10.15am

Discovering learners are struggling with sensory processing difficulties can sometimes be the missing piece of the jigsaw in gaining an understanding of learners’ social, emotional, and mental health difficulties.

All attendees will be given free access to the Welbee Wellbeing Toolkit, including the World’s first AI staff wellbeing assistant specifically for those working in education
Maxine Smith - Harnessing Equine Wisdom for Teachers' Wellbeing

The symptoms and long term effects of chronic stress and burnout have far-reaching personal and professional consequences on an educators life, often bringing a premature end to a promising career. Our workshop on establishing healthy boundaries, will discuss how this important skill, often left out of teacher training, makes a significant impact on an educators ability to manage their stress, time, workload, classroom behaviour and relationships, negotiating a healthier work/life balance. Join us as we draw on the innate abilities of horses; either directly or indirectly, to empower
and support educators establish a greater emphasis on their well-being.
