Scaffolded Pupil Reflection Toolkit – Disability-Related Incident

Support pupils to reflect meaningfully on incidents involving disability-related discrimination with this structured and accessible reflection toolkit. Designed for pastoral leaders, Heads of Year and safeguarding teams this resource provides a scaffolded set of prompts that help pupils understand the impact of discriminatory behaviour on children and adults with a disability and/or people they are associated with.

The toolkit guides pupils through clear stages of reflection including emotional impact, understanding of the Equality Act 2010 and the wider consequences of discriminatory attitudes. Sentence starters and accessible language ensure suitability for pupils who need additional support with written reflection or who benefit from more guided thinking.

This resource can be used during behaviour investigations, restorative work or follow-up learning conversations. It offers a consistent and supportive framework that encourages self-reflection, accountability and empathy.
