Schools are increasingly taking approaches that emphasise the emotional and relational components of learning.  One element of this can be the rethinking of traditional behaviour policies, either to make them more sensitive to the diverse needs of young people or to recast them completely as ‘relationship policies’.  The two speakers in this webinar have gone through the latter process in their schools – one primary and one secondary – and will discuss the process of creating a relationship policy for the school and its impact on young people, staff and the wider school environment.  The webinar is likely to be of interest to school leaders, SENCOs, Designated Teachers and virtual school staff seeking to encourage their local schools to think about how they can promote positive relationships.
