Social Emotional Behavioural Needs in School – Specialist Facilitator Course

Children with social, emotional, and behavioural needs (SEBN) are incredibly valuable members of our society. They may face additional challenges in their educational journey, such as higher rates of school expulsion, difficulty attending school regularly, changes in placement, and ongoing struggles accessing appropriate educational support. Many of these children have diverse needs that stem from various factors, including differences in neurodevelopment, mental wellbeing, and past experiences.

Supporting them is a vital and nuanced task that demands an open-minded and adaptable approach. It involves recognising and honouring their individual thinking styles, learning preferences, emotional well-being, and ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all learners. Insights Psychology DMCC is proud to offer a specialised training course tailored for professionals working with children with social, emotional, and behavioural needs in both mainstream and specialised educational settings.
