Quick wins for student self-regulation: free 30-minute expert guide

As we approach Children's Mental Health Week (3-9 February 2025), with its theme "Know Yourself, Grow Yourself" supporting emotional regulation has never been more crucial. Helping pupils manage their emotions and behaviour in school is one of the biggest challenges teachers face. We hear this again and again in our conversations with schools across the UK.

For pupils with SEND, particularly those with autism or speech and language needs, emotional regulation can be especially challenging, leading to increased anxiety and barriers to learning. Creating an environment where all pupils can recognise and manage their emotions is essential for both wellbeing and academic success.
