Behaviour Support Plan: Good Practice

 
   

PARK JUNIOR – PEER SUPPORT

Peer Mediation.  A small group of year 6 children have been trained with the help of The Quaker Peace Foundation – to confidentially mediate between pupils who have a problem with one another.  The pupils voluntarily elect to go to mediation but on occasion they maybe advised by Staff to consider this option.

There is a set procedure for the mediation process and the agreement reached is signed by the protagonists.  A member of Staff co-ordinates the programme and can be consulted by the mediators if the problem proves too difficult for them to mediate.

We have twenty trained mediators and they are grouped in pairs on a fortnightly rota; the sessions take place at lunchtimes and the mediators if the problem proves too difficult for them to mediate.

We have twenty trained mediators and they are grouped in pairs on a fortnightly rota; the sessions take place at lunchtimes and the mediators wear a distinctive cap.

The second idea is much simpler.  Each new member of our school community, child or adult, has a buddy.   Their buddy will look after them during the settling in period and afterwards if the relationship develops in that way.  Year 3 buddies write a letter of introduction and invitation to Year 2 children, during the Summer Term, before their first visit to our school.
