Webinar Theme:
Unlike the film, there is no explicit content in this webinar. Instead, this presentation will discuss the complex nature of boarding and the necessity for staff to be able to adapt, change and demonstrate flexibility based on individual circumstances. As boarding staff, we face issues that are not encountered within a regular schooling environment, we connect with students in a different and often more personal way, and we invest so much of ourselves in the residential community. Due to this, staff and students exist in a unique, delicate setting, which requires different methods of behaviour management and decision making. 
- Understanding external factors that influence behaviour 
- Navigating difficult behavioural issues with flexibility 
- The search for equity in behaviour management approaches 
- Policies to support flexible and professional decision making 
- Finding comfort within uncomfortable circumstances
