Background
Staff in schools are struggling, not because of the lack of staff, but because of the lack of understanding! With the amount of resources and extra knowledge around special needs now, including all “very easy” to access courses (for free) they shouldn’t be struggling with it! The more they’re aware of how to deal with or de-escalate a situation the better it would be, not only for the children, but for the staff too.
