Ways to Recovery through A Toolbox of Wellbeing -  Powerpoint presentation  by Dr Tina Rae

 

Supporting post-lockdown education using the six principles of Nurture

The nurture principles are ultimately about supporting children who have missed out on key developmental experiences in their early lives. But I feel they are also a useful guide for helping them to recover from an 

unprecedented change in their daily routine. We will be asking them to cope with this strange and stressful disruption and adapt to a “new normal” in the coming weeks and months. Applying a nurturing approach in children’s return to school-based education enables us to focus on the factors which foster healing and resilience in the face of trauma. Factors such as safety, understanding, wellbeing and inclusion.

Support a Safe & Successful Return to School using the SWAN framework

RESTORE

RESTORE provides a restorative perspective that can inform how we plan for the return to the classrooms, playgrounds and corridors of physical schools.
It highlights seven key areas which, alongside learning, are where we need to stimulate thinking and make decisions in order to collectively move forward into a healthy ‘new normal’. The areas intersect, interconnect and affect each other, as we all do. RESTORE is a lens through which staff, children and parents can look at the strategy and plans that are needed for everyone’s well-being in a fast changing environment and for a safe and healthy return to school.

More about RESTORE

Recognition

Of what’s happened and that our experiences during lockdown have all been different, life changing for many and significant for us all. How do we encourage everyone to share their story of the pandemic so far?

Empathy

For the mix of emotions that we have in response to events, whether staff, students, families, community and the in the wider world. How can we respond with empathy and compassion and self-care?

Safety

Re-establishing a sense of emotional and physical safety for this new normal so that students are able to learn and all are able to thrive. Safeguarding those who may have not been safe whilst they’ve been away from school.

Trauma

Is now a collective as well as an individual experience, how does the school community process this? And how do we support people who have experienced very particular traumas during lockdown or as a result of facing an even more uncertain future?

Opportunity

To change what needs to be changed, to do things differently and to learn from this experience that we can question seemingly fixed aspects of our world.

Relationships

Are key, as they always have been. How do we reconnect, and (re-)build inclusive, responsive communities at all levels in school?

Engagement

In our own lives and the issues that affect us, our teaching, learning, community and to allow staff and students a sense of agency in their own lives.

Free bereavement training for teachers

On average, 1 in every 29 children will be bereaved of a parent. That’s one in every class. Whether your student has been bereaved recently or several years ago, they need support from the school community to ensure that they can cope with their grief. That’s why it’s vital that teachers and staff understand how to support the grieving children and young people in their school.

Winston's Wish have created free online bereavement training courses which will help you understand how grief affects a child or young person and how you can help them cope with their grief. The courses are designed for schools but would be useful for anyone who works with bereaved children. Written by the Winston’s Wish team, drawing on their many years of experience supporting bereaved children, and created by Learning Nexus.

These courses are free, just fill out the form on the link below to access them.

Transition back in to school.

Transitioning back into school following the Coronavirus lockdown will be an anxious time for many staff and pupils
and it is important that schools try to manage this transition as smoothly as possible.
Some ideas to think about both prior to the children returning to school and once they are in school.
 
 

Emotional Support for School staff

The GCC Occupational Health team has a wealth of experience in supporting the County’s schools with their health and wellbeing needs.

Their latest factsheet gives details on the Emotional Support available for school staff as they return.

Mental Health Support for Children and Young People

 It's normal for children and young people to feel stressed or anxious at the moment. We've all experienced sudden changes in our routines and are living with uncertainty. For some young people, the coronavirus pandemic may also worsen or trigger anxieties they were already struggling with.

How a child or young person reacts can vary according to their age, how they understand information and communicate, their previous experiences, and how they typically cope with stress.

You can support a child or young person by:

  • Talking to them about what's going on, how they are feeling and what they're thinking about.
  • Reassure them that it's ok to feel the way they do and help them to reflect on how they're feeling.
  • Keeping as regular a routine as possible can help a young person feel safer and more stable.
  • Regular sleep and activity can also improve mental wellbeing.
