A practical SEND and behaviour support guide for teachers and Early Years practitioners supporting a child who refuses to join activities, group time or learning. When a child repeatedly says no, moves away or avoids classroom activities, it can be easy to view the behaviour as defiance or non-compliance. However, refusal may communicate anxiety, sensory overwhelm, communication difficulties, low confidence, transition needs or uncertainty about what is expected. This free behaviour as communication resource helps practitioners move beyond asking, “Why won’t they join in?” and instead consider what may be making participation difficult for the child. The guide includes: ✓ Possible reasons a child may refuse to participate ✓ Behaviour as communication reflection questions ✓ Practical regulation strategies ✓ Questions to help identify patterns and barriers ✓ Inclusive classroom adjustments ✓ Ideas for gradually supporting participation ✓ A simple Regulate, Understand, Change approach How I use this resource: Use the guide after noticing repeated refusal or avoidance. Practitioners can work through the reflection questions individually, during supervision, in SEND discussions or as part of a team meeting. Choose one practical change to test rather than increasing pressure on the child.

A practical SEND and behaviour support guide for teachers and Early Years practitioners supporting a child who runs away from adults, activities or classroom spaces. When a child repeatedly runs away in school or an Early Years setting, immediate safety must always come first.

Running may be connected to sensory overload, anxiety, demands, difficult transitions, movement needs or a child’s inability to communicate that they need a break. This free behaviour as communication resource helps staff move beyond asking, “How do we stop the child running?” and begin identifying patterns that may help reduce the need to run. The guide includes: ✓ Possible reasons a child may run away ✓ Questions to identify triggers and patterns ✓ Practical regulation strategies ✓ SEND and inclusive classroom adjustments ✓ Ideas for supporting transitions ✓ Alternative communication strategies ✓ A simple Regulate, Understand, Change approach How I use this resource: Use the guide following an incident or when reviewing repeated patterns of running. Consider what happened immediately before the child ran and where the child attempted to go. This information can support professional reflection, SEND discussions and proactive planning.
