We are urging all schools in Northern Ireland to emotionally regulate before we educate when reopening this week. It is important to prioritise psychological recovery of pupils AND staff. We also want to caution Educational Psychologists on the over identification of SEN.
All schools in NI reopen tomorrow, now more than ever we have to emotionally regulate before we educate. Not only for psychological recovery due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but now also due to the increased violence across NI. Psychological wellbeing 1st, academics 2nd.
