Description

The film is led by Dr Sian Williams, a practitioner specialising in trauma, providing practical guidance for recognising and responding to signs of distress in young people. Teachers, school staff, and professionals working with young children may sometimes worry that a pupil is experiencing significant emotional distress – including behaviours that may be unsafe. Risk-related behaviours can affect a considerable number of young people, and it can be challenging to respond calmly and appropriately in a school setting. This expert-led film offers clear, practical guidance specifically for UK primary school staff and those supporting pupils during the transition to secondary school
