Can you build a comfort and productive relationship with a student that is so effective, the student progresses to college and apprenticeship - can you change the course of their life?

Of course, life and the role are not that linear, vulnerable children are surrounded by vulnerable adults and will be exposed to trauma and the opportunity to make decisions that are not in their best interest.

GSL realise the role that sincerity plays in any form of advocacy, be it in the mental health or special educational needs settings.

If you have sincere empathy and know your reasons, your drive for helping children and vulnerable people who have been through severe trauma, being let down poorly by the adult world.

Seeing the differences of how mental health and autism, for example, manifest differently in girls and boys - something overlooked and another example of the socio-economic and anthropological elements of life you will see play out in front of you.

The school values Restorative and empathetic practices, empathy drives connection, this is a key aspect that vulnerable children who have been through significant trauma will really respond to, this is one aspect of connection that are looking for, not pity and sympathy.

_2 key questions to always remind yourself of when taking on this LSA role when you are working with your students:_

_Can you make the student's life just that little bit better today and keep them safe?_

_Can you demonstrate the value of an education to the students?_

These are 2 of the key aspects of this role, you must be sincere and understand this role and roles similar, are very challenging.

This LSA role is not easy, each boy has a different context for their mental health and trauma, their own idiosyncrasies that will be different from their classmates.

Their behaviour will likely be unpredictable and will often be dictated by the adults and environments they are exposed to, outside of school.

That is why it is vital that you can QUALIFY and even more importantly, DISQUALIFY the SEN and Mental Health sectors for yourself.

This LSA role is based within an Alternative Provision for boys and girls 9-16, who have an EHCP for their Social, Emotional and Mental Health challenges, some of the children will regularly display anti-social behaviour towards staff and their fellow children.

Key aim - Delivering Key and Personal skills to students who will be in varying degrees of engagement, you are looking to raise their academic attainment through the delivery of key & personal skills - through a restorative approach.
