Guidance

The 'Guidance on Identifying and Supporting Learners with Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties' aims to:

  • assist teachers, school leaders and school governors in developing a culture of support and empathy in their schools which will lead to a reduction of risk of SEBD; and

Guidance is also available on identifying and supporting young learners who have or are at risk of SEBD.
