Tier 2 Support

The Acorn Team, Chessbrook ESC and DSPL9 are working together collaboratively to create offers of support for schools finding behaviour challenging with individual or groups of pupils - with SEMH needs

Some options we have to offer at Tier 2 level:

TA surgeries

TA surgeries involved one of our experienced BSPs attending your setting - you will be given time slots to pop in for a 1:1 or group session to discuss challenges with pupils with SEMH needs anonymously. Our BSPs will be able to offer you advice, suggestions for resources, signposting and strategies - click here

We aim to work with SENDCOs across DSPL9 to gather further ideas around what would be useful for schools at this level of need. 

Other support already available for you within DSPL9 for SEMH needs...

A whole class approach to behaviour management may be required for some cohorts. This may include targeted training around communication, behaviour management, tranisitions and routines. 

Key teams who can support you with this are:
