Agreed, I'm happy to share consequences with staff but with full awareness that they will sometimes be dissatisfied that it's not "firm enough."
Equally, I have tried to share some contextual info about Ss in the right way in briefing - but got to be so careful about privacy/dignity and..1/2

if its not having an affect. Also, what about the links w. other vulnerabilities like SEND and PPG (recent FFT report...) A teacher RIGHTLY does not *need* to think about these things. School leaders do. So that's where a difference in "the right way forward" naturally emerges, imo 2/2

Also - I understand the desire for "firmer action" but I think SLs have greater insight into what that looks like: the regulation, accountability, AP landscape &affordability, FAP possibilities and processes in their local borough. Even govt docs say that you have to review use of repeated FTE 1/2

, open, contribute if they're not being asked directly about THEIR experiences of bullying or poor mental health moments etc. But instead using the story as a space to explore those. So yes, NOT literature (I'm an Eng T!) but can be highly sophisticated, meaningful PSHE, I think. 2/2

Interesting- I don't think it necessarily is (or has to be) crude PSHE. Often in PSHE we ask Ss their responses to hypothetical scenarios anyway - why not take those scenarios from brilliantly written YA instead? Equally, sometimes it is much easier for a teen to be vulnerable if 1/2
