Beware the trap of seeing students as just labels

Imagine a school where all the students stuck to all of the rules all of the time. Where they learned easily and put maximum effort into everything they did. Where there were no safeguarding issues, no mental health issues, and children arrived well dressed and well fed, dropped off by their parents who are eager to engage with and listen to the advice of their teachers.

For some, that would be the perfect school. But not me – schools should be for all learners, not just the ones that make life easy. And this utopian school does not, of course, exist in reality. But the hope – or the belief – that such a school could exist can leads to us perceiving some of our students differently: namely, those students that struggle, or that ruin a school’s 100 per cent attendance record or that need extra attention – in whatever form that might be.

"Abused children ‘re-traumatised’ by support services"

A report by mental health charity YoungMinds has found that children who have been neglected, abused, bereaved or faced prejudice are often let down by services designed to support them.
The report, Beyond Adversity, shows that one in three adult mental health problems stem from "adverse childhood experiences" – including abuse, neglect, taking on adult responsibilities, prejudice and bereavement.  

But young people who suffered this type of trauma may communicate their feelings by being aggressive, self-destructive, withdrawn or highly sexualised, they are often treated as “the problem”, the report states. 
This means there is a risk that the cause of their trauma is never addressed and they don’t receive the mental health care they need.
