Unit 2 moves participants’ thinking from recognising indicators of neglect to examining the impact of neglect on individual pupils.

It will help staff to understand both the short- and longer-term effects of neglect on a child, particularly in relation to their behaviour and development.

A case study gives staff the opportunity to consider family characteristics and the relationship between neglect and challenging behaviour.

Importantly, the unit explores realistic responses that the school can offer.
