- Counselling for Parents and Children:
In these sessions we see parents on their own and with their children. If the concerns or worries are school-related, parents can invite the child’s teacher to one or more sessions. We use solution focused techniques which allows us to work briefly. We offer between 2 - 6 sessions at fortnightly intervals. - Consultation for teaching and support staff:
- Re-integration Programme:
In these sessions we offer teachers and support staff a space to explore concerns or issues related to their work. Consultation can be for individuals or groups and can be one-off or for several sessions. They can look at a specific issue or focus on skills development. Consultations are usually offered on a monthly basis.
Re-integrating a child into school after a fixed term exclusion can be difficult. Chiron has designed a programme which is especially aimed at primary school-aged children who have had a series of fixed term exclusions and who could benefit from planned re-integration into their classroom and the school.
The programme comprises:
- six one-hour consultation sessions in which two relationship consultants meet fortnightly with parents, child and class teacher
- parents, child and teacher are asked to complete a questionnaire at least a week before the start of the consultation sessions
- the questionnaire identfies beliefs and perceptions about relationships and behaviours held by teacher, parents and child
- the questionnaires are used in sessions to enable discussions that cover such issues as rule making, rule following, rule breaking and the effect these might have on teacher-parent, child parent and child teacher relationships
- the questionnaire is completed again at the end of the programme to help identify changes in behaviours and relationships
- on completion of the 6 sessions the consultants prepare a report
- consultants meet with class teacher, parents and child a month later to discuss the report
- the final report is submitted to the Head teacher
