Pastoral Care
Positively manage students' behaviour within the classroom and address behavioural issues appropriately, ensuring that all students are kept safe, and accidents are minimized.
Establish positive, productive working relationships with students: Be consistent and fair; Do not show favouritism or make negative comments;
Support children when emotional and upset in an appropriate way. Excessive bodily contact with pupils, such as kissing or cuddling, should be avoided. However, in Early Years, appropriate care may involve physically comforting a distressed child. This should only occur in an open space, in full view of colleagues and should not be more than is necessary to sooth an upset child.
Raise self-esteem of students: Address pupils in the same way; Use positive comments; encourage independence appropriate to age and maturity.
Assist students in handling their personal needs including toileting and washing and help them in eating lunch or snacks.
Observe for any signs of mistreatment: emotional or physical abuse or neglect and report to the lead teacher

Observe students to detect signs of discomfort or distress, illness or injury and alert lead teacher immediately
Never leave a child/class on their own in a room. If taking children to the nurse- leave them there and come straight back up.
