Groupwork

Behaviour Support Groupwork

Behaviour Support Service (BSS) offer interventions in the form of groupwork. The purpose of intervention varies depending on the needs of the school or individuals.

 The groups are identified and chosen by schools. Groups usually consist of up to 10 students and typically run for a duration of 6 weeks unless discussed previously with school. The school will select the individuals they wish to attend the group. BSS aim to meet all attendees individually before starting the group to explain to the young person what the groupwork will consist of. During the groupwork, needs will be explored and tackled through means of discussions, roleplay and other strategic methods to achieve the desired outcome.

BSS will keep a register to record attendance each week. On completion, everyone will be presented with a certificate acknowledging their participation and contribution to the group.

During and after the groupwork, the BSS staff member will identify if any young people need extra intervention. If this is needed, they can be referred by the school for 1:1 mentoring or whichever intervention is best suited for the individual.
