ABSTRACT This paper explores and compares the challenges faced by those who study away from home during their transition to higher education with those who study closer to home. This qualitative, exploratory study was conducted with 14 students, using semi-structured interviews. Data were processed using the “Big Q approach” to thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the construct of transition to higher education differs between students who study away from home and those who are local. In the case of studying away from home, in contrast to students with no such experience, the construct of the transition includes a psychosocial component. The current model of transition to HE comprises cognitive, communicative, self-regulation, and psychosocial components. The current conceptual framework aligns with a theoretical perspective which emphasises a nonlinear, iterative, and recursive conceptualisation of the transition process. Implications for practice are discussed.

This collection of case studies is written by a CBT therapist working in the NHS and in private practice. The book’s stated aims are to shed light on the role of CBT therapists, celebrate their commitment and compassion, and illustrate the transformative potential of CBT. The book seeks to meet its aims through presenting seven case studies, each of which is focused on a specific disorder including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), social phobia, panic disorder and vomit and soiling phobia. Each chapter covers the client’s presenting needs and their progress through therapy.

ABSTRACT This study sought to establish educational psychologists’ (EPs) views on their experiences of using a personal skills profile (PSP), created to support post-16 transition. Two focus groups were held with EPs working in local authorities in the UK. Discussions focused on participants’ experiences of using the PSP with young people (YP), its value, and how it could be developed further. Audio recordings were transcribed, anonymised and thematically analysed. Findings indicated that EPs found that the PSP elicited useful information to support discussions around preparation for adulthood. Key themes relate to the ease of use by EPs and effectiveness and efficiency in regard to information gathering. The tool was deemed to be accessible to YP. Findings are discussed with specific focus on the EP role in relation to supporting preparation for adulthood as outlined in the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Code of Practice (SEND CoP). Future directions for research are explored.

ABSTRACT Pupils’ behaviour can affect teacher morale, attrition, and exclusions. Teachers’ efficacy beliefs can serve as a protective factor against stress and burnout. This study examined a possible association between teachers’ collective efficacy (CE) beliefs and exclusion rates, and whether student-teacher relationships (STRs) affected CE beliefs and teachers’ views about how they responded to difficult behaviour. A mixed methods design was utilised with four secondary schools in one UK local authority. A questionnaire ascertained CE beliefs. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews with ten teachers, with high and low CE, were conducted. A significant association was found between CE and the rate of fixed term exclusions. Interview data revealed four broad themes: The “Quality of Relationships”; the effects on “Efficacy Beliefs”; less “Reliance on Disciplinary Approaches” and having “Greater Tolerance”. Positive STRs enable teachers to provide an environment in which behaviours are more respectful, reducing the need for disciplinary approaches, such as exclusion.

ABSTRACT Despite evidence for the importance of playtime for children, the use of the withdrawal of playtime is a sanction that is used throughout schools in the UK. In light of this, there have been recent arguments highlighting the need to explore alternatives to this sanction in order to protect opportunities for playtime. This exploratory action research study included an initial focus group and multiple psychological consultations with teachers in a single setting to collaboratively explore and review potential alternatives. Findings include teachers wanting to address behaviours that often result in the withdrawal of playtime, and strategies to address these were co-constructed and implemented. Other findings included contextual barriers to stopping the use of withdrawing playtime, such as curriculum constraints, as well as facilitative aspects to stopping the withdrawal of playtime. Further implications for EP and school practice and research, as well as limitations, are discussed.

The book is divided into three parts. Section one deals with approaches to diagnosis. Two distinct approaches are posited: an approach referred to as response to intervention is contrasted with one which emphasises the assessment of primary strengths and weaknesses. A combined approach is recommended: the author is especially critical of a wait to fail approach.

ABSTRACT This paper explores whether children and young people (CYP) with additional learning needs (ALN) are at a systemic disadvantage regarding Welsh language opportunities. Justification pertaining to why this should be on the radar of educational psychologists (EPs) in Wales is provided. Congruent with critical realism, quantitative and qualitative research is reviewed, examining micro, eco and macrosystems. A systemic lens illuminates the context and process factors that CYP with ALN and their families may encounter regarding Welsh language opportunities. This paper is informed by the bioecological Person Process Context Time (PPCT) model, and the Constructionist Model of Informed and Reasoned Action (COMOIRA). Limitations demarcating interpretation of identified issues are highlighted, without negating their significance. Implications for EPs are offered, contemplating their role in facilitating inclusion through supporting the development of greater cohesion between Welsh Government (WG) legislation (macrosystem), and the systemic realities of CYP with ALN in Wales.

ABSTRACT UK government statistics illustrate that children’s mental health problems are rising. Schools are positioned as central to identifying and responding to children’s mental health problems, and teachers are seen to play a crucial role in fostering positive relationships, developing supportive environments, and implementing targeted interventions. This exploratory research considered how primary teachers in the UK conceptualise mental health, specifically children’s mental health, how they view and make sense of their role in relation to this, and approach working with children based on these understandings. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), semi-structured interviews were conducted with four primary school teachers. Four master themes were identified: environmental factors; relational approach; the impact of, and on, teachers; mental health as a personal and individual experience. The implications for teachers, schools and EPs are considered, with recommendations including developing support for teachers, creating relational primary school communities, and considering the “real-world” action EPs could take.
