What is the event about?

Disruptive behaviour can be a major cause of stress and frustration for educators. Desperate to maintain calm, productive classrooms, some are resorting to isolation booths to combat the problem. But is this form of ‘time out’ doing young people more harm than good? 

In ‘The impact of isolation booths on behaviour and mental health’, Thrive's Viv Trask-Hall is joined by Charlotte Rainer of the Children and Young People's Mental Health Coalition, and Mark Reather from React UK Training, to discuss the effects of isolation booths and explore alternative approaches that prioritise the wellbeing of children and young people.

After just 45 minutes, you will have:

Understanding of what happens to a young person’s brain and body when they’re put into isolation.

Key takeaways from research into punitive approaches and why they can be detrimental to mental health 

Actionable alternatives to sanctions that are more likely to improve behaviour long-term.
