Description:
Supporting pupils to avoid meltdowns

Director’s Note:
Feedback from school leaders and TAs is how much they value CPDF focused on supporting the amazing TAs /LSAs. Schools from all of the diocese we serve have identified these behaviour management areas as where they need support. Get your TAs signed up. Don’t worry if they haven’t attended the previous sessions, one is better than none.
