This improvement in attendance and support from parents has meant that the Attendance Worker was fully redeployed and trained as Careers Lead, using Trauma Informed practice to provide personalised, intuitive careers guidance to pupils and their families at no additional cost to the school. This has improved attitudes to education and employment and reduces the chances of young people becoming involved in violent and/or criminal activity.
IMPACT:
Through explicit work on relationships and boundaries through a Trauma Informed lens, using community police colleagues wherever possible, pupils are more aware of their own behaviour, its impact on others and how they are supported. The number of pupils excluded for a fixed period have decreased significantly and the number of permanent exclusions has more than halved, further reducing the changes of young people becoming involved in criminal activity.
The school created a community partnership group to work collaboratively as part of a multi- agency approach for children of secondary school age who were actively involved in, or
on the periphery of anti-social behaviour. The partnership working led to a 58% reduction
in anti-social behaviour and 66% reduction in criminal damage/arson. This positive impact was recognised by the Police and Crime Commissioner when the school won an award at the Problem Solving Awards 2023, enabling them to secure additional funding to continue and extend the programme.
