"I accept full responsibility for what I did/said." 4. Ask how to make amends. "How can I make this better?" 5. Commit to not doing it again. "Moving forward, I promise to..." 6. Ask for forgiveness. "Will you accept my apology?" 7. Thank them. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention." These are not apologies: I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm sorry but...

Kiran Gill: we need to focus on children interacting with social services. They are currently an invisible group.
We should use the facts to show cause and effect to teachers. The behaviour consultation is not acknowledging new evidence in this area.

Perhaps memories of your teens are filled with fond memories – spending time with friends. Perhaps school was a time you would rather forget. A time of rejection and isolation. We all have a need to belong, here, we take a look at the importance of school belonging. #belong #self
