Who are we?
Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) Support Team
This is our SEMH team:
SEMH colleagues provide a range of services for children and young people with social, emotional and mental health difficulties, when these difficulties have a significant impact on their ability to successfully engage with their learning. The SEMH team aims to offer support at the earliest opportunity and reduce exclusions. Working collaboratively with settings, they provide staff training, consultation with staff, direct work with individuals and groups of children, and advice regarding strategies and approaches. These include but are not limited to:
- Observation, assessment and advice
- Practical strategies for managing challenging behaviour with individuals and whole classes
- Use of CBT based approaches, solution focused and person centred approaches.
- Direct intervention with individuals and small group work which might include but is not limited to, building self-esteem, anxiety management, resilience, mindfulness, anger management / emotional regulation and the development of social / relational skills
- Input into behaviour plans and pastoral support plans
