The school Head of Pastoral Care and Education Psychologist delivered an interactive session with the Care Team to start the process of embedding the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) programme throughout the school and home. 

PBS is an evidence based approach used to support people to develop more appropriate ways of behaving, either by changing factors within the environment or teaching them new skills and ways to communicate.

Wings School Cumbria is an independent specialist residential and day provider for boys and girls, who are aged 9 - 17 and have social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH) in Cumbria.

All the children and young people have identified social, emotional and mental health difficulties. They may also have learning difficulties such as autistic spectrum disorders including Asperger’s Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, moderate learning difficulties and other specific learning difficulties.

Training and staff development is an essential part of the approach within all the Kedleston Group schools and homes. Upskilling and enabling our team to be their very best will ensure the children and young people get the highest levels of support possible.

Well done to everyone who took part!
