Specialist and Outreach Teams: Behaviour Outreach Support Service (BOSS)

Our team vision is to enhance and empower the circle of support for Doncaster children, inspiring them to become the best version of themselves.

What support do we offer?

We work with primary and secondary schools, children and families in an outreach capacity. We work alongside schools to support children & young people who may be experiencing behavioural difficulties or have an unmet or identified social, emotional mental health need (SEMH). We can offer:

  • Specialist support advice and guidance to schools specifically around supporting children with behaviour and SEMH needs.

  • Bespoke pieces of work with children to support them in their mainstream setting either as one to one or in a small group capacity.

  • We work collaboratively with families, schools and other agencies to create, monitor and deliver bespoke support plans for children with behaviour or SEMH needs. 

  • Training offer for schools e.g. Midday supervisor training, Keyworker, therapeutic approaches, ACEs etc.

  • Family support which may include direct work with families or delivery of parenting support courses e.g. Family Links.

  • Transition support for children moving through key stages e.g. Year 6 to Year 7.

Resources

In this section of this toolkit, we have given schools access to a range of resources that the team use as sources of information when making recommendations to settings.

The resources are primarily here to support staff’s awareness of thinking around behaviour and SEMH as well as raise awareness of a variety of techniques that can be used to support a range of issues facing children and young people as they enter their classrooms.
