| Supporting resettlement scheme pupils in your setting |
This session aims to support schools who are hosting pupils on funded schemes such as the United Kingdom Resettlement Scheme (UKRS), Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) and Homes for Ukraine. We will discuss recommended in-class strategies for settling pupils in, emotion support for Refugees, developing English proficiency and setting up interventions such as paired reading and English phonics and the importance of communication with parents and the community. We will share advice and strategies on how to successfully include these vulnerable children and develop emotional literacy and empathy in your classroom. Extensive research has shown that school, and most importantly the relationships formed at school, can be an incredibly stabilising, positive and nurturing experience. This session is fully funded for schools welcoming children from resettlement schemes. |
