ASDAN is an education charity and awarding organisation providing courses, accredited curriculum programmes and regulated qualifications to engage, elevate and empower young people aged 11 to 25 years in greatest need.

We define young people in greatest need as those living in poverty, without support for their emotional and social needs, those with a special educational need or disability, those not engaged or succeeding in their education, who miss an English and/or Maths pass at 16 or subsequently, and who are at risk of becoming NEET.

Our goal is to engage them through relevant and motivating courses to achieve meaningful learning outcomes, which elevate them to go on to further education, training and work, and empower them to take control of their lives. We do this by developing courses with an accessible and practical pedagogy for learners; and by working with our partner educators to foster the personal, social and work-related abilities of young people in greatest need.

Trauma Informed Schools UK: What is a Trauma Informed School?

NFIS — 2022-09-12 15:44:00 UTC

https://www.traumainformedschools.co.uk/home/what-is-a-trauma-informed-school

A trauma informed school is one that is able to support children and teenagers who suffer with trauma or mental health problems and whose troubled behaviour acts as a barrier to learning. Our training programmes were born out of a response to major public health studies that have shown that when children who have suffered several painful life experiences, are unhelped, there is a very high chance of them going on to suffer severe mental and physical ill-health. We therefore support schools, communities and other organisations in providing relationships for these children that heal minds, brains and bodies. Key conversational skills in addressing and making sense of what has happened are central to our work as is a major shift in whole school/organisation/community culture.

Writing a safety plan is a recognised method of reducing risk of self-harm or suicide.

The act of writing the plan is helpful in its own right as it can help your child recognise sources of support and ways to stay safe and help you to understand them better.

The plan can also be helpful in moments of crisis when it is very hard to make good decisions, but somewhat easier to try to follow a pre-agreed plan.

You can also visit stayingsafe.net to create an online safety plan if you prefer.

You are welcome to print/photocopy/share the relevant pages of this document.

PAPYRUS

NFIS — 2022-09-13 14:23:07 UTC

PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide is the UK charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and the promotion of positive mental health and emotional wellbeing in young people.

Suicide is the biggest killer of people aged 35 and under in the UK. We believe that suicide is preventable.

PAPYRUS was founded in 1997 by a group of bereaved parents, who had each lost children to suicide. Our founding parents shared core beliefs that suicide is preventable, and that those of us with lived experience of suicide have a valuable and unique contribution to make to the wider conversation around suicide.

Since then, PAPYRUS has grown into a UK-wide charity with offices in north west England, south west England, West Midlands, London, Northern Ireland, north Wales, south Wales, and Scotland.

Are Autistic
Have ADHD
Are experiencing anxiety or mental ill health
Have experienced bullying or trauma
Are at risk from exclusion or have self-excluded from mainstream education

Spectrum Gaming

NFIS — 2022-09-13 15:01:01 UTC

Spectrum Gaming is an online community for autistic young people which has three main intended outcomes:

1) Building Friendships - A lot of autistic young people are lonely, isolated and struggle with friendships. We wanted to create a community where autistic young people feel comfortable and can make strong friendships in a safe way. Our main provision is our online community, that anyone from across the UK can access. We also run meet ups for young people who live in the Greater Manchester area.

2) Increasing Self-Acceptance - Because of how much people misunderstand autism and the way it is diagnosed, unfortunately many autstic people hate their diagnosis or feel ashamed of being autistic. We want to make sure as many autistic people as possible are able to accept their differences and live the happiest lives they can

3) Advocacy - We don't just want to be a community that enables autistic young people to develop meaningful friendships and develop a more positive perspective of autism. We want to create a movement that will have a positive influence on society through advocacy, and enable strategical change to ensure the needs of autistic young people are met across the UK. We have created a platform where young people can share their voices through content, talks and more. You can see some examples of content we produce on our YouTube channel.

Mind Jam

NFIS — 2022-09-13 15:01:44 UTC

At a young age, these needs can sometimes feel overwhelming and often isolating.

At MindJam, our aim is to support children who suffer anxiety, stress, social issues and other emotional needs. We are experienced in working with children with ASD, ADHD, Trauma, PDA and children who have been adopted. MindJam uses gaming, coding and game creation, digital music and digital art, as a platform to develop positive play, problem solving and social and technical skill development, through friendly, positive and low-demand sessions. These activities are great for relieving stress and anxiety and have been shown to greatly benefit mental health and cognitive development.

ELSA Network

NFIS — 2022-09-14 12:40:33 UTC

The ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) intervention was originally developed within Southampton, then Hampshire, by Sheila Burton, Educational Psychologist. It was designed to build the capacity of schools to support the emotional needs of their pupils from within their own resources. This is achieved by training teaching assistants to develop and deliver individualised support programmes to meet the emotional needs of children and teenagers in their care. It recognises that children learn better and are happier in school if their emotional needs are also addressed. This intervention is now widely implemented by educational psychologists across Britain.

ELSA is an initiative developed and supported by educational psychologists, who apply their professional knowledge of children’s social and emotional development to areas of need experienced by pupils. They provide on-going professional supervision to help maintain high quality in the work undertaken by ELSAs, thereby helping to ensure safe practice for ELSAs and pupils alike.

Traumatic Experiences - Resources

NFIS — 2022-09-14 12:44:34 UTC

When a child endures a traumatic experience, the whole family feels the impact. But adults hold the power to help lessen its effects. Several factors can change the course of kids’ lives: feeling seen and heard by a caring adult, being patiently taught coping strategies and resilience-building techniques, and being with adults who know about the effects of such experiences. Here are ways to bring these factors to life.

When your child is suffering, parenthood can be tough, lonely and frightening. When the cause of that suffering is hard to understand, as is so often the case with mental health, it becomes more difficult still.

At Charlie Waller, we understand that. Led by parents who have experienced this challenge themselves, our parent and carer programme offers practical advice, training and support to parents, carers and families. This is delivered both face-to-face and online, primarily through our PLACE Network, a rapidly developing national network of parent support groups and training workshops.

We also produce a wealth of expert, evidence-based resources for parents and carers, on a range of topics relating to the mental health of children and young people.

This animation uses beautiful imagery to describe what we mean by our ‘Window of Tolerance’. Our Window of Tolerance is where we are at our personal best – where we can play, think, love and be loved. When we experience trauma and adversity – our Window of Tolerance narrows, and we become sensitive to stress. Here, we explore what this looks like in children and adults, and we also explore how you can support those of us who carry trauma in our nervous system.

You will find lots more freely available resources, animations and information on our website; along with training courses aimed at supporting people who are carrying trauma and stress. Visit www.beaconhouse.org.uk

Welcome to Happy Steps, the UK's only research based stepfamily resource centre. Stepfamilies are now the fastest growing family type in the UK. It's estimated that 1 in 3 of all families are now stepfamilies or blended families.

Research has shown that stepfamilies often have to overcome challenges when developing their new family units which can affect their mental wellbeing, with increased stress and anxiety.

Despite this, there is very little help and support available. Happy Steps has been designed to gather together a whole range of services to help families and individuals strengthen their stepfamilies and to provide training and tools for organisations and family professionals.

I hope you find what you're looking for on the site - if not, please drop me a line and tell me how I can make it even better!

CPAG: The effects of poverty

NFIS — 2022-09-24 13:22:52 UTC

Research has shown that family income impacts on children's lives and development in a variety of ways. Living on a low-income increases parents’ stress levels, in turn affecting relationships and family dynamics. Increases in family income can boost children's educational achievements, and emotional and physical wellbeing.

Parents worry about the impact poverty has on their children, particularly that they may be bullied. Children living in poverty frequently report feeling excluded and embarrassed, citing it as a ‘key source of unhappiness’, and worry about their parents in turn.

All areas of a child’s life are adversely affected by poverty: home, school, friendships and more. The most visible aspect is that they do not have what their friends have. Child poverty impacts on children's ability to enjoy their childhoods and achieve their aspirations.

82% of all teachers believe that pupils with behavioural issues are at the highest risk of being Off Rolled, with a number of teachers acknowledging that an overlap exists between students that exhibit behavioural issues, SEN students and those with low academic attainment. Looking more towards specific categories of students, when asked what type of student is more likely to be Off Rolled, teachers answered that it was incredibly more common for male pupils to be Off Rolled, as opposed to female pupils. Many teachers also believe that Off Rolling is on the rise, and that there needs to be a greater amount of education surrounding it, both for staff and parents.

School for Fidgets

NFIS — 2022-09-27 14:26:43 UTC

GATESHEAD HEALTH NHS:
The relationship between fidgeting, self-regulation, learning and pupil wellbeing is considered from the child and young person’s perspective. Fidgeting behaviours can be driven by many factors - an understanding of the root cause and underlying dynamics are essential to identify ways to support pupils to self-regulate, focus and participate in school. ‘School for Fidgets’ was created in response to a rise in referrals to Children’s Occupational Therapy at Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust in which classroom fidgeting was cited as a barrier to learning.

Content Description
Expressive self-portraits, stop motion animation and an original soundtrack illustrate personal experiences and provide valuable insights. Fidgeting is described as an attempt to self-regulate in response to movement needs; levels of attention and energy; environmental challenges; communication issues; emotions and feelings; physical and sensory discomfort; level of task difficulty and problems with executive functioning.

Film Development
The original soundtrack was written, performed and recorded by secondary pupils at Heworth Grange School, Gateshead. With the support of the schools’ music department, the pupils created a piece which conveys the thoughts and emotional tone arising from the original interview material. Together with spoken voices from pupils at Larkspur Community Primary School, the soundtrack adds richness and personality to the film. The original interview responses were gathered from 27 Gateshead children and young people aged 5 to 18, attending mainstream, specialist education and college. From start to finish, 40 children and young people contributed to the making of the film as advisors, interviewees, artists and musicians.

Supporting Self-Regulation, Occupational Engagement and Learning
Supportive factors were identified during the project development:
• regular movement breaks at or away from the work space
• opportunities to work and play outside
• a cool down period after lively outdoor play to help transition body and mind back into work
• adaptations to the environment to reduce sensory overload - sound, temperature, visual stimulation, light quality, movement, smells and tactile experiences
• seating at the right height for the child in relation to the height of table, enabling feet to be placed comfortably on the floor or on a raised surface (dynamic or static)
• working in different positions including standing
• experimenting with different options for floor sitting to accommodate subtle movement e.g. wobble wedges and cushions
• whole class and individual strategies to help manage anxiety and stress such as simple breath control exercises, mindfulness and positive self-talk
• teaching discreet movement techniques which provide deep pressure feedback , e.g. toe scrunches inside shoes, arm, hand and chair presses
• small fidget tools specifically chosen to meet the young person’s sensory and fidgeting needs. A good fidget needs to be quiet, robust, provide rhythmic movement for fingers and hands, feel interesting and not distract other pupils
• permission to use a purpose designed chew tool/chew aid where this meets oral motor/sensory needs
• support regarding how to fidget responsibly and use a fidget effectively to facilitate focus. This together with a protocol for safe and appropriate use discussed and agreed with child and parent/carer in advance
• quieter areas to retreat to
• adequate nutrition and regular opportunities to sip water from a sports bottle
• breaking tasks into chunks, minimising directions and offering choice
• use of clear visual timers to show time elapsed and remaining
• meeting the needs of the whole child - opportunities to engage in art, making and creating, music, movement and sport
• opportunities to make, celebrate and reflect on mistakes
• engaging through doing – shared activity with peers in small, supportive lunch time groups
• clear expectations that the child or young person can understand
• staff checking in and considering what needs the child or young person may be trying to meet
• understanding, respect and kindness
• children and young people feeling they belong and that their contribution is valued

It is important to note that there is no ‘one size fits all’ and individual needs can change. Children and young people of all ages also need regular opportunities for play and activities requiring whole body movements outside of school in order to develop their motor skills, strength, balance and sensory systems - the foundation for self-regulation, attention and learning.

Partners in Advocacy

NFIS — 2022-10-02 14:13:54 UTC

Partners in Advocacy started as part of Barnardos in the 1980’s and became a completely independent organisation in 1998. We are very proud that we are one of the oldest established independent advocacy organisations in Scotland.

We have offices in Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Our Advocacy Workers come from many different backgrounds. We are also fortunate to have Volunteer Advocates who are supported from our Edinburgh office.

We provide independent advocacy for individuals living with learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, physical disabilities and people over 65. We also provide independent advocacy to children and young people who are living with mental health issues, additional support needs and learning disabilities. We remain the only independent advocacy service working Scotland-wide that supports children aged 12 to 15 to have their views considered when decisions are being made about the support they get with their learning.

We offer independent advocacy which is free to individuals, as well as some collective advocacy (group advocacy). You can find more information about the different types of advocacy we provide within the Our Work menu and for information about our services in your area in the What We Do menu.

Mindroom

NFIS — 2022-10-02 14:19:08 UTC

Our multi-disciplinary team have the experience to inform and provide evidence-based procedures and tools to help families and professionals.

Our goal is to empower children and young people and their families with the skills and confidence to have a real say in decisions about their lives.

'Parental Partnership, Advocacy and Engagement: The Way Forward' by Simon Haworth, Andy Bilson, Taliah Drayak, Tammy Mayes & Yuval Saar-Heiman

NFIS — 2022-10-24 11:52:01 UTC

This article, written with parents as co-authors, has two aims: (1) to provide a critical view of the English child protection system based on parents’ views and to locate these views within contemporary child protection studies and (2) to present the transformative value of co-production in the context of child protection studies both as a form of critical scholarship and as a means to influence policy and practice.

School Home Support

NFIS — 2022-10-28 14:06:55 UTC

School-Home Support is a charity working with children and families to maximise educational opportunities and improve life chances.

Partnering with schools, local authorities and communities, School-Home Support looks beyond the classroom to understand and tackle the issues affecting children’s learning, such as poverty, inadequate housing and mental ill-health. Since 1984, we have used early intervention to break intergenerational cycles of deprivation and low aspiration, replacing them with children in school and ready to learn.

MetaSENse is a project funded by the Nuffield Foundation. The project carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effectiveness of interventions aiming to improve educational abilities for different children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), to understand what works best for which children in which settings.

The MetaSENse project identified targeted interventions for improving educational outcomes (i.e. reading, writing, mathematics, science and general attainment) among children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) aged 4-25.

The research findings were used to develop an easy-to-use toolkit, including a searchable database, to support teachers in selecting what to use in their classrooms.

Goblin Tools

NFIS — 2024-11-11 12:56:39 UTC

goblin.tools is a collection of small, simple, single-task tools, mostly designed to help neurodivergent people with tasks they find overwhelming or difficult.

Most tools will use AI technologies in the back-end to achieve their goals. Currently this includes OpenAI's models. As the tools and backend improve, the intent is to include ethical alternatives.

The AI models used are general purpose models, and so the accuracy of their output can vary. Nothing returned by any of the tools should be taken as a statement of truth, only guesswork. Please use your own knowledge and experience to judge whether the result you get is valid.

goblin.tools is offered free and available to all. It will stay free without ads or paywalls. Mobile apps of the tools are offered at a low price (on Android and iOS), which will help cover the running and maintenance costs so the website can stay completely free. Keeping the tools freely available in a convenient form is a foundational principle to us.

New guidance on remote education by DfE | John Leese posted on the topic | LinkedIn

NFIS — 2025-02-10 17:08:04 UTC

Remote Education Coding - Further guidance issued by the DfE. A massive thank you to Adam Luke and the Department for Education for taking the time to consider the issue around how to record absence/attendance relating to the increasing number of children receiving education via Accredited Online Providers such as EDClass Ltd, Academy21 etc. The guidance in full is provided below: Dear colleagues, Thank you for your patience following questions on whether remote education can meet the new definition of approved educational activity. For clarity and to ensure consistency of practice across the country: The attendance register is a legal record of which pupils are physically present in school when the register is taken for the session in question. The Department’s guidance to schools on remote education (first published in 2022) makes clear that a situation where a pupil is participating in remote education must therefore be recorded with the appropriate absence code as the pupil is not physically in school at the time. Following extensive public consultation, the definition of approved educational activity (Codes B, P and W) has been strengthened in the new Regulations. From the 19th August, therefore, for a school to use Code B the pupil must be attending a place, other than a school at which they are registered, for an educational activity. That activity must be supervised by a person considered by the school to have the appropriate skills, training, experience and knowledge to ensure that the activity takes place safely and fulfils the educational purpose for which the pupil’s attendance has been approved. Supervision for the purpose of this code means the pupil is physically supervised by someone who meets the definition set out in the Regulations. Remote education does not meet this definition and so a pupil who is not in school and receiving such education is instead to be recorded with the appropriate authorised absence code in line with the Regulations, as stated in the aforementioned guidance. Face to face attendance whenever it is possible should always be the priority, but the Department is clear schools may continue to use remote education in line with the remote education guidance and we recognise the value it can add to pupils who would not otherwise be able to access education. Schools and local authorities are expected to provide support to pupils who are facing barriers to attendance and should do so in the pupil’s best interests rather than how it is recorded in the attendance register. Where remote education is provided, school can, and should, monitor participation in it and credit pupils for their efforts.

Youth Zones are purpose-built spaces fizzing with energy, and crammed with incredible facilities. These youth centres, called Youth Zones, provide local young people aged between eight and 18, or up to 25 with additional needs, affordable access to high-quality sports, arts and leisure facilities and activities, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. They are staffed by skilled and dedicated youth workers who truly believe in young people – helping them see what they could achieve, and giving them the skills, confidence and ambition to go for it.

When can a school remove a pupil’s name from the school’s register?

NFIS — 2025-06-29 18:49:02 UTC

Working together to improve school attendance - August 2024

NFIS — 2025-06-29 18:49:32 UTC

The DfE Working together to improve school attendance guidance states: 31. The law requires all schools including independent schools to have an admission register and, except for schools where all pupils are boarders, an attendance register. These registers must be kept electronically. All pupils (regardless of their age) must be placed on the admission register and have their attendance recorded in the attendance register. The proprietor of a school who fails to comply with these regulations is guilty of an offence and can be fined.

See

Chapter 2, page 16 - Attendance register

Chapter 7, page 62 - Contents of the admission register

Chapter 8, page 76 - Contents of the attendance register

Education Act 1996

NFIS — 2025-06-29 18:51:59 UTC

The register is a legal document and it must be marked correctly as s.434(6) of the Education Act 1996 states:

(6) A person who contravenes or fails to comply with any requirement imposed on him by regulations under this section is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 1 on the standard scale.

Understanding Attendance: From Insight to Action

In 2023 ImpactEd Group launched Understanding Attendance – a national research project reviewing attendance rates of over 300,000 pupils and surveys from over 80,000 young people throughout 2023/24 to understand the relationship between pupils’ social, emotional and behavioural measures and their attendance rates.

Our research to date has shed light on factors such as the importance of belonging and the second transition between Year 7 to Year 8. This evidence base has informed the development of a targeted question set and sophisticated approach to benchmarking. Schools participating in the project will use this to get deeper insight.

We work with schools who want to make a real difference in the lives of the children they teach,

Schools who can see that increasing numbers of children are struggling to manage their feelings, experiences and mental health and who recognise that challenging behaviour is on the rise as a result. Children are voting with their feet and our schools know that there must be a better way!

Through our course and award, we guide our schools to focus on developing children’s emotional intelligence and regulation skills and to increase their self-awareness and self belief. Developing therapeutic relationships between staff and children and supporting children’s social emotional and mental health outcomes as their priority.

We work with schools who are not afraid to challenge the status quo and who are committed to making changes to their practise to embed a whole school culture that is underpinned by trauma informed, attachment aware, inclusive practise, so that they can support every single child’s development as they move through school.

With the rise in children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in mainstream classrooms, the need to support mainstream teachers to support SEN is increasing.

Led by Prof Abby Russell, the  INclusive learning support hub, or IN-hub is an engagement project designed to address this challenge by creating a searchable database of evidence-informed neurodiversity resources for school staff. The IN-hub platform will help educators find and access inclusive teaching approaches and techniques tailored to neurodiverse students.
