All of the homes use a positive approach to promoting positive behaviour. Our physical intervention technique is called NAPPI but the group aim is to reduce and eliminate the need to use physical intervention where ever possible. The SENAD Group offers staff training in anti- discriminatory practice as part of our mandatory training and embraces difference and diversity across all settings. We support our staff and the children we care for to embrace the multicultural society in which we live. We treat all the children with the same respect for their individuality regardless of their disability. In line with The Equality Act we take every reasonable step to ensure that children are not disadvantaged or excluded from any activity.
We continuously review our policy and practice to: • Improve the physical environment
• Increase participation and inclusion in the wider community • Increase participation and inclusion in the wider community • Provide suitably adapted equipment and resources • Ensure all children are able to communicate effectively & function as independently possible
All polices are available on SENAD website or at request from Maple View School.
