In this episode of the SEND Network Podcast, India is joined by educational psychotherapist Angela Greenwood. They discuss supporting children to be safe to learn. Angela offers pointers on how practitioners can nurture relationships with SEND children and children who have experienced trauma.
Angela notes that to create a secure base for learning, practitioners should nurture a secure relationship with SEND children. Some of the ways Angela suggests SENCOs can support children are as follows:
- Wondering and teaching children they are ‘held in the mind’ even when you’re not with them.
- Adopting attachment and trauma-aware teaching strategies and what that looks like.
- Setting boundaries between yourself and the child.
