JUSTICE 4 SCHOOLS SPECIAL NEEDS CONFLICT RESOLUTION TRAINING |
Aims: to give any
young person but especially those with a special needs i.e. statement of
education needs or from a looked after background an opportunity to develop
greater conflict resolution skills so they are able to
- De-escalate conflict
- Resolve conflict in a more restorative way
- Recognise good choices that deal effectively with conflict
- Have a confident understanding of the strategies that work for them.
Background: we have
found from our experience of working directly with so many children from
vulnerable backgrounds that they especially benefit from the opportunity to
think about conflict their choices, the possible outcomes and yet so often they
are the ones excluded from conferencing because schools think they are unable
to participate fully.
Our Training: give young people an
opportunity in a fun, interesting way to think about;
- How does trouble start?
- What choices do you have?
- What are the outcomes from those choices?
- Which choices cause more trouble?
- What makes a choice a good choice?
By giving a young person the opportunity to think about these choices we aim to
build on their skills so they are able to more often:-
- Move from conflict to a restorative solution
- Allow everyone to feel
- heard
- treated faired
- able to move on
- Clear idea of how to make choices in the future
- Recognise remorse and move on
When to use - we can
work with a small group of pupils or on a one to one depending on the needs of
each individual group. The training can be delivered in a morning, afternoon or
in three x one hour sessions to meet the needs of the pupil(s).

training within your setting. |
