Transitioning children back into school

To support the wellbeing of setting staff, children and young people during the Covid-19 pandemic, we have created several short briefings and information sheets that consider the psychological aspects of the transition back to school.

The briefings include:

• Trauma-informed Transition back to school;
• Returning to school: supporting staff wellbeing;
• Returning to school: behaviours you may expect to see and strategies to support children and young people;
• Emotion Coaching;
• Importance of Play;
• Returning to school: Top Tips for Parents.

We have also provided briefings to support transitions for groups of children and young people with specific needs, designed to form a graduated response in addition to the resource Trauma-informed Transition back to school, including:

• Helping Autistic pupils transition back to school;
• Transition back to school for children and young people who have experienced developmental trauma and/or are in care;
• Transition back to school for those with social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH).
