Barnardo’s vision is that the lives of all children and
young people should be free from poverty, abuse and
discrimination.
Barnardo’s purpose is to help the most vulnerable
children and young people transform their lives and
fulfil their potential.
About Barnardo’s
Barnardo’s is the UK’s largest children’s charity, working
directly on an ongoing basis with over 55,000 children,
young people and their families in more than 300 projects
nationwide.We also support a further 7,000 children
through one-off sessions and indirectly assist almost
35,000 others through our work with community groups.
We help youngsters and their families to overcome
severe disadvantage.We enable them to address problems
like abuse, homelessness and poverty and to tackle the
challenges of disability.We do this because we believe
children have only one chance of a childhood.We also use
our expertise and knowledge to campaign for better care
for children and to champion the rights of every child.

What works in educating pupils with
social, emotional and behavioural

Paul Cooper
2001 • £15.00 • ISBN: 0 902046 73 X
CC414 • 146 pages
Pupils with social, emotional and behavioural
difficulties (SEBD) are some of the most
marginalised children within education. Their
often challenging and disturbing behaviour does
not make them an easy group to include within
mainstream school classes. As a result, the
education they receive is not necessarily
appropriate for their individual needs.
This report offers a valuable insight into the
definitions, history and variety of approaches used
to address the needs of this group of children
and young people.
