Children are able to decide upon and share their opinion. Children can say why they feel the way they do.
-
All children regardless of ability should feel as though their opinion and contribution is valued and valid.
-
Children know ways to keep safe and happy and how to seek help/support if they consider themselves not to be.

-
Model and scaffolding forming opinions
-
Careful consideration should be given to talk pairs - not simply pairing Sen students with academically higher achieving students but students whose characteristics would engage, support, mentor and encourage Sen students to form and share an opinion
-
Ensuring share time is a 'safe space' - clear rules for ensuring this are recapped / shared before each session
-
Using a 'sharing object' that is passed around the group so that each child is given equal opportunity to talk and be heard
-
Revisiting ways to stay physically, emotionally and mentally safe and what they can do if they are not
-
Providing visual support e.g. pictures of people who can keep them safe / provide support at school etc
