Senworks was founded in 2013 to provide an expert consultancy service to schools seeking to review and improve the provision made for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

In 2021 we continue to deliver services to schools across the full range of settings from residential special schools to large inner city academies, in both the maintained and independent sectors.

In addition to consultancy, Senworks offers a wide range of innovative training experiences for teachers, school leaders, SENCOs and teaching assistants. These courses have led to two books on SEND for teachers and teaching assistants. 'Effective Differentiation' - a training guide to SEND and inclusive practice for mainstream teachers was published in 2018 by Routledge followed in December 2020 by 'The Effective Teaching Assistant' co-authored by Melanie Wright.

In response to the current pandemic Senworks is making substantial changes to its working practices to ensure all services are provided safely and within the current guidelines.

My whole way of thinking has changed. I feel positive about my future and the people around me. I'm now looking forward to the future and helping others just like me!

Thank you so much for the incredible support PAPYRUS and HOPELINE247 has given me. You helped me in that moment and it kept me alive.

I intend to continue to fundraise for and promote PAPYRUS. I am so proud and humbled to be involved with a wonderful charity, and to have received the support that I have.

Having been personally bereaved by suicide I understand the importance and need for our charity. I am surrounded by others who are as passionate as I am about saving lives.

Our Wellbeing characters are ready to teach pupils all over the country. Each day has a focus to help pupil's wellbeing.

The focus is on bravery and confidence. Pupils will focus on that strength of character and will find ways to increase their confidence and bravery.

Tuesdays we look at being 'thoughtful'

The focus is on being thoughtful and kind. How they can help others and think about other people's feelings.

The focus is on goals and wishes. How they can set a goal and reach that goal. How that will make them feel.

Thursdays we look at 'thankfulness'

The focus is on gratitude and looking for those little things we appreciate. This will help their positive outlook on life.

The focus is on friendship and how connecting with friends is important for their wellbeing. It will also look at qualities of friendship.

The focus is on looking after minds and bodies by doing things that make them feel good.

The focus is on celebrating their achievements that week. If you look hard enough there is always something to be proud of.

Each PowerPoint has a few slides which you can share remotely from home using screen share, on a whiteboard in the classroom, on an IPAD (install the free PowerPoint app), on a laptop with PowerPoint installed.

Should you want to print this out you could do that by saving the PowerPoint as a PDF and then printing it.

For week one the PowerPoint starts with the character, moves onto vocabulary, then activities which only need paper and pencils. It ends with affirmations. This will change slightly each week. There are plans for 3 weeks worth of PowerPoints and that will be reviewed and extended if needed. You could add other activities or parents you could really focus the whole day on the PowerPoint and find other activities to do to compliment it. Check our free resources for additional resources.

We also have a printable pack with posters and worksheets and you will find the link within each PowerPoint.
WEEK 1 WEEK 2 WEEK 3
If you want to share these resources with parents you MUST ensure our terms and conditions remain on the resource. We use some licensed clipart and it is important that clipart artist is credited. The easiest way is to link to this post for parents to download.

If you want some activities for FEBRUARY please download our FREE Calendar which is linked to Children's Mental Health week. There are 28 activities in PowerPoint and Printable format. Please go to this link 'ELSA Support February Calendar'

Meeting your child's unique learning needs

EOTAS parents are special parents.

They've deliberately chosen to battle the education system on their child's behalf.

Most have watched their child struggle to manage school life. Some have seen their child denied the school place that's legally theirs. All experience the daily struggle to help their child learn and reach their potential.

If this has been your experience, we want you to know that learning doesn't have to be a struggle any longer.

Imagine if your child could access the education they need - wherever, whenever and however was right for them.

Imagine if this happened every single day, evolving with them as they grow and develop.

The positive impacts this would have on your child would be incredible.

That's what YouTeachMeToo offers - an inclusive education that's as unique and potential-filled as your child.

A powerful alternative to school

Teaching that's low-demand, low-arousal and flexible

Every child loves watching videos. Perhaps because of the control it gives them?

Videos are predictable and always there for them; they simply press play and away they go. They can play, pause, rewind and move on when they're ready.

Videos are low-demand, low-arousal, flexible and accessible in any location.

For children who struggle to manage the often traumatising demands of school, video learning at home is a really powerful alternative.

They will, of course, need easy access to high-quality videos for them to learn from though!

That's why we work with amazing teachers in UK Special, Deaf and Mainstream schools. We help them create short teaching videos, which they use in their own lessons.

In return for our support, the videos then become available to learners everywhere, through YouTeachMeToo.

Our mission

To create instant and lasting change

Education needs to change. We all know that.

The problem is, change is slow.

So slow in fact, that if it comes, it will almost certainly come too late for our children to benefit.

Our children need better learning experiences now and they need them to stay better, right through to adulthood.

At YouTeachMeToo, our mission is to make this happen.

YouTeachMeToo offers every parent the chance to give their child high-quality, supportive learning experiences today.

In doing so, they give us the resources we need to support ever more teachers to share their teaching, building an even better tomorrow.

Together we will create instant and lasting change.

About us

We want to be a company that people can trust so we always act with honesty and integrity. We hope that this is evident in the service we offer. We do not sell data. We do not allow advertising. We offer a free trial without trying to trick people into paying when the trial period ends. We guarantee to never increase the cost of a subscription for an existing customer. We email a monthly invoice to every customer, reminding them that they are paying for our service. We allow our customers to cancel their contract at any time.

About YouTeachMe and YouTeachMeToo

Five years ago, we began work on a new way to use videos to support teachers to improve their lessons. As time has passed, YouTeachMe as it became known, began to change the way that teachers teach and share their knowledge, expertise and ideas. It has proven especially effective in helping learners, which is perhaps unsurprising in the digital age! Over recent months we have received such positive feedback from parents of children whose schools are using YouTeachMe that we decided that it was time to create a version that is available to parents and carers anywhere; YouTeachMeToo. We hope you like it. If you do, please spread the word. Together we can ensure that every learner receives the teaching they deserve.

About YouTeachMe Ltd

YouTeachMe Ltd was founded in 2012 by a serving Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher. Working together to move on a school in challenging circumstances, the concept for YouTeachMe was born out of a shared desire to enable effective collaboration between teachers. YouTeachMe and now YouTeachMeToo ensure that teachers have the support and recognition that they deserve and every learner is able to learn more effectively through the use of technology. Our aim is to deliver Global Goals 4.2 (Equal access to quality pre-primary education), 4.6 (Universal literacy and numeracy) and 4.C (Increase the supply of qualified teachers in developing nations). To find out more about these goals, please visit https://www.globalgoals.org. Thank you.

Measuring Outcomes Webinar

The reason we put interventions and provisions in place for our students is because they are not currently where we expect them to be. But for each individual pupil that could mean they are 1 mark away from some pre-determined threshold or thexay are several years behind their age-related-expectation. When we go to measure their individual progress, it can be confusing.

Join this webinar to find out how the -2 to +2 scaling (GAS scale) within Edukey's Provision Mapping can be used to measure outcomes and demonstrate progress.

What measures education and childcare settings should be prepared to introduce to manage coronavirus (COVID-19).

This publication was withdrawn on

Applies to England

Documents

Details

This document applies to:

early years providers

schools (including independent schools) and alternative provision

16 to 19 academies

further education providers (FE)

higher education providers (HE)

breakfast clubs and after-school clubs

holiday clubs and other out-of-school settings

The contingency framework describes the principles of managing local outbreaks of COVID-19 in education and childcare settings. It covers all types of measures that settings should be prepared for.

Within the framework you will find guidance highlighting the actions required from the start of the autumn term. It also sets out thresholds for managing COVID-19 cases and when settings should consider seeking public health advice.

In light of this advice education and childcare settings should revisit their plans for managing COVID-19, outlining how they would operate if any of the measures described within the contingency framework needed to be introduced.

As we learn to live safely with coronavirus (COVID-19), there are actions we can all take to help reduce the risk of catching COVID-19 and passing it on to others. These actions will also help to reduce the spread of other respiratory infections, such as flu, which can spread easily and may cause serious illness in some people.

COVID-19, along with many other respiratory infections such as influenza (flu), can spread easily and cause serious illness in some people. You may be infected with a respiratory virus such as COVID-19 and not have any symptoms but still pass infection onto others.

The risk of catching or passing on COVID-19 is greatest when someone who is infected is physically close to, or sharing an enclosed and/or poorly ventilated space with, other people. When someone with a respiratory viral infection such as COVID-19 breathes, speaks, coughs or sneezes, they release small particles that contain the virus which causes the infection. These particles can be breathed in or can come into contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth. The particles can also land on surfaces and be passed from person to person via touch.

You will not always know whether someone you come into contact with is at higher risk of becoming seriously ill from respiratory infections, including COVID-19. They could be strangers (for example people you sit next to on public transport) or people you may have regular contact with (for example friends and work colleagues).

There are simple things you can do in your daily life that will help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory infections and protect those at highest risk. Things you can choose to do are:

1. Get vaccinated.

2. Let fresh air in if meeting others indoors.

3. Practise good hygiene:

wash your hands

cover your coughs and sneezes

clean your surroundings frequently

4. Wear a face covering or a face mask.

Face coverings and face masks can help reduce the chance of you spreading infection to others, especially in crowded and enclosed spaces, and may protect you from becoming infected by some respiratory viruses.

If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as COVID-19, and you have a high temperature or do not feel well enough to go to work or carry out normal activities, you are advised to try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people.

There is guidance on steps you can take to protect other people if you are unwell with symptoms of a respiratory infection, including COVID-19.

1. Get vaccinated

Vaccines are the best defence we have against COVID-19 and other respiratory infections such as flu. They provide good protection against hospitalisation and death. They also reduce the risk of long-term symptoms. The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and vaccine programmes are continuously monitored.

If you are eligible and you have not yet received your full course of a COVID-19 vaccine, you should get vaccinated. A full course of a COVID-19 vaccine provides protection against severe disease, including against the Omicron variant, but this protection wears off over time. Booster doses significantly improve the protection offered by vaccines. You should get a booster vaccine for COVID-19 if you are offered one.

You may be eligible for other vaccinations, particularly if you are at risk of becoming seriously ill. Get vaccinated as soon as you are able to.

There is more information about the vaccinations available and when you should have them on the NHS website.

2. Let fresh air in

The amount of respiratory virus in the air can build up in poorly ventilated areas. This increases the risk of spreading COVID-19 and other respiratory infections, especially if there are lots of infected people present. The virus can also remain in the air after an infected person has left.

Meeting outdoors greatly reduces this risk, but this may not always be possible.

Bringing fresh air into a room by opening a door or a window, even for a few minutes at a time, helps remove older stale air that could contain virus particles and reduces the chance of spreading infections. Trickle vents (small vents usually on the top of a window) or grilles can also be useful for bringing a little fresh air constantly. The more fresh air that is brought inside, the quicker any viruses will be removed from the room.

Ventilation is most important if someone in your household has COVID-19 or another respiratory virus, to try and stop the virus spreading. See further guidance here.

Good ventilation has also been linked to health benefits such as better sleep and fewer sick days off from work or school.

There is further advice on what you can do to improve ventilation.

3. Remember the basics of good hygiene

Following these basic rules of good hygiene will help to protect you and others from COVID-19 as well as many other common infections:

cover your nose and mouth when you cough and sneeze

wash your hands

clean your surroundings

GermDefence is a useful website that can help you identify ways to protect yourself and others in your household from COVID-19. It provides scientifically proven advice on reducing the risks from COVID-19 and other viruses in your home.

Cover your nose and mouth when you cough and sneeze

Coughing and sneezing increases the number of particles released by a person, the distance the particles travel and the time they stay in the air. If an infected person coughs or sneezes without covering their nose and mouth, it will significantly increase the risk of infecting others around them. By covering your nose and mouth, you will reduce the spread of particles carrying the virus.

Cover your mouth and nose with disposable tissues when you cough or sneeze. Put used tissues in a bin and immediately wash your hands or use hand sanitiser. If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow, not into your hand.

Wash or sanitise your hands

Hands touch many surfaces and can become contaminated with viruses and other germs. Once contaminated, hands can transfer these to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the germs can enter your body and infect you.

Washing or sanitising your hands removes viruses and other germs, so you are less likely to become infected if you touch your face. Using soap and water is the most effective way to clean your hands, especially if they are visibly dirty. Hand sanitiser can be used when soap and water are not available. You should do this regularly throughout the day.

In addition, wash your hands:

after coughing, sneezing and blowing your nose

before you eat or handle food

after coming into contact with surfaces touched by many others, such as handrails, and shared areas such as kitchens and bathrooms

when returning home

Clean your surroundings

Surfaces and belongings can be contaminated with COVID-19 and other germs when people who are infected touch them or cough, talk or breathe over them. Cleaning surfaces will reduce the risk of you catching or spreading infections.

Clean surfaces in your home often. Pay particular attention to surfaces that are touched frequently, such as handles, light switches, work surfaces and electronic devices such as remote controls.

4. When to consider wearing a face covering or a face mask

Wearing a face covering or face mask can reduce the number of particles containing viruses that are released from the mouth and nose of someone who is infected with COVID-19 and other respiratory infections. Face coverings can also protect the person wearing the face covering from becoming infected by some viruses.

When to wear a face covering

when you are coming into close contact with someone at higher risk of becoming seriously unwell from COVID-19 or other respiratory infections

when COVID-19 rates are high and you will be in close contact with other people, such as in crowded and enclosed spaces

when there are a lot of respiratory viruses circulating, such as in winter, and you will be in close contact with other people in crowded and enclosed spaces

If you have symptoms or have a positive COVID-19 test result and you need to leave your home, wearing a well-fitting face covering or a face mask can help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory infections. See further advice in the guidance for people with symptoms of a respiratory infection or a positive test result.

Those attending education or childcare settings will not normally be expected to wear a face covering. Face coverings for children under the age of 3 are not recommended for safety reasons.

What makes a good face covering

Face coverings work best if they are made with multiple layers (at least 2 and preferably 3) and form a good fit around the nose and mouth. A wire nose bridge can improve the fit and may also help to prevent glasses from fogging. Scarves, bandanas or religious garments are likely to be less effective if they do not fit securely around the mouth and nose, and are of a single layer.

Reusable face coverings should be able to be washed with other items of laundry according to fabric washing instructions and dried without causing the face covering to be damaged. Single-use disposable masks should not be washed or reused and should be disposed of responsibly.
