Read the article below on Police in Schools. 1. Think about the justice system and whether you think this is good idea or not. 2. What impact is this system having on young people today? 3. Think about the advantages and disadvantages of using this system. 4. Is it an inclusive approach to thinking about inclusion and preventing criminal acts? by PERRY-HARRY, Tyrone https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli en-us 2022-11-08 15:33:28 UTC 2023-04-27 10:45:15 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570158598 1. No, this is not a good idea. As stated in the article, it prevents children from feeling safe to make mistakes in school. It risks criminalising children and disrupts their education.]]> 2023-04-27 10:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570158598 1) The school is no longer a safe haven, a space where they feel like they can be helped,” said Dr Remi Joseph-Salisbury, a Manchester University lecturer and co-author of a report on police presence in schools. https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570158659 For many learners school is where they go to escape danger and to feel safe and supported. Surrounding them by a force who can at times be intimidating might stop that safe feeling and possibly cause decreases in attendance. ]]> 2023-04-27 10:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570158659 Children begin to think that school is a place of judgement and persecution. https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570160002 2023-04-27 10:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570160002 https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570161161 1: I can see the aim of SSOs. It would take pressure away from teachers in tackling antisocial behaviour and potentially improve safety in schools/understanding of the law and safety. However, it could affect students' learning because they don't feel safe going into school. Also, the SSOs are predominantly placed in schools that are in areas of high deprivation, so therefore not an equal attempt to tackle crime and raise awareness.]]> 2023-04-27 10:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570161161 1. I don't believe having police in schools is a good idea. The intention is to prevent crime and help build a safer neighbourhood but having police forces within schools with young people will begin to feel worried and scared going to school, taking away a sense of safety. Especially with children who are at a young age and going through difficult periods in their life it will make them scared of making mistakes and may lead to issues with the enforcement of behaviour management https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570161839 2023-04-27 10:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570161839 https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570162074 3. Advantages, can improve the safety students and members of staff feel within the school. 
Disadvantages, not every police officer is suitable to go into a school and using the wrong police officers can reinforce a negative attitude towards police. ]]> 2023-04-27 10:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570162074 https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570162987 4. no, it's not inclusive, it alienates and targets pupils who are deemed 'likely' offenders, and the students will quickly learn which students are being monitored by the police, and may isolate those pupils.]]> 2023-04-27 10:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570162987 2) https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570163459 Some young people fear that actions that previously would have been dealt with by school staff will now lead to them being criminalised. This would affect education by reducing positive engagement in school and possibly perpetuating the school to prison pipeline.]]> 2023-04-27 10:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570163459 3) pros and cons https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570164309 + Assigning a specific officer to individual schools has the potential to allow for learners to get used to and get to know the presence of that officer and feel more at ease.
- a police presence at school may to some learners provide an impending feel that something bad is going to happen regardless of the preventative nature of the assignment and therefore may present as a distraction to their education.

The article says that from interviews from Manchester it found that police presence within schools had a detrimental impact upon BAME pupils. Also shows that some schools found that the officers sent weren't energetic or vibrant enough to make the children feel safe, nor had the proper training for being around children. It can lead to some children feeling safe but could also lead to issues where they feel more unsafe within their environment. Jo Shiner said that the focus of this is to "build trust and confidence between young people and the police" https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570167209 2023-04-27 10:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570167209 4) inclusive? https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570167861 In someways maybe but it has the ability to reduce attendance rates and therefore its actively excluding learners. The inclusivity depends on the true intention of the programme. If it is to support students who are at risk of committing criminal acts or to be improving the image of schools by removing those students may struggle and turn to crime. ]]> 2023-04-27 10:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570167861 3) https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570168388 Advantages: Opportunities for early intervention / Teachers less stretched across multiple roles (SSOs can deal with incidents) / May raises awareness about the justice system (when workshops are delivered)
Disadvantages: Young people may be criminalised at a younger age / System currently bias against areas of deprivation / Disadvantages BAMES students / Little evidence to show positive outcomes have been met]]> 2023-04-27 10:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570168388 1. In my opinion, this could go one of two ways where the children / young people would feel uneasy being in a setting with a strong presence of the police or they would take it to another level and cause more disruptions only because police are on-site at the time. 2. As most of us know, the justice system is known for being racist so having these issues, particularly since the George Flloyd incident, has a negative impact on society as well as the welfare and safety of those within these communities that are deemed ethnic-minority dominant and favors white supremacy. 3. An advantage would be that children would be able to convey there safeguarding concerns and other issues on site with the police rather than go straight to the DSL/DDSL. Another advantage, maybe that having police on site, the crime rate of attacks within schools would decrease. there are a few disadvantages such as the justice system is not very good for getting children out of abusive situations involving family members or other caregivers. another disadvantage may be the fact that at times people don't tend to pick up on the signals that signalize the distress they are in. 4. i would say that i think this isn't an inclusive approach as it promotes racism which takes place unconsciously, children/young people are more likely to "act up" with police presence and then will also cause mental health issues such as depression ,anxiety etc. https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570169618 2023-04-27 10:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570169618 Is it possible to change the feelings of distrust between students and the police? https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570171053 2023-04-27 10:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570171053 3. Advantages and disadvantages https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570171571 Advantages - 
Reduction of crime within schools
Potentially safer neighbourhood and decrease likelihood of children committing crimes
Aims to make students feel more safe at school

Disadvantages - 
Evidence of detrimental impact upon BAME pupils
If not implemented effectively can lead to children feeling more unsafe
Implications on behaviour policy and enforcement
Attitude of police offers if not trained to work within settings can be off putting for students and staff ]]> 2023-04-27 10:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570171571 1. Sir Michael Wilshaw said They could be beneficial, making students and staff feel safer, but everything must be appropriate. https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570172484 2023-04-27 10:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570172484 4. No, I don't think this approach is inclusive. I think it is important for children to learn about the systems that are made to help them but it is also important for them to have their own thoughts and feelings surrounding the justice system. I also feel like that the feelings and safety of BAME students/staff and other minority groups that may feel threatened by the police have not been considered https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570174037 2023-04-27 10:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570174037 4) https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570174933 No, because the model currently focuses on areas of high deprivation (considering factors including number of students on free school meals and GCSE grades). It needs to be applied to everyone, or to no one. Should also consider what other factors may impact on young people's ability to positively respond to and engage SSO's]]> 2023-04-27 10:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tperryharry1/jwuqub73awqv6zli/wish/2570174933
