Pastoral care and learning?
• Pastoral care is the ‘oil of learning’
• Pastoral care is not the destination but the nourishment for the learning journey …
(Mann 2006)
![Page 5: Donna cross](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012904/546e4526af79594b588b57ba/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Links between pastoral care and academic outcomes?
• Emotions can facilitate or impede children’s:– Academic engagement– Work ethic– Commitment– Ultimately their school success
• Relationships and emotional processes affect how and why we learn
(Elias et al 1997)
![Page 6: Donna cross](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012904/546e4526af79594b588b57ba/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Growing evidence…
• Effective mastery of social and emotional competencies is associated with greater wellbeing and better school performance
(Eisenberg, 2006;Guerra and Bradshaw, 2008)
• Child development study found improvements in the psychosocial environment of the school mediated almost all of the positive student outcomes
(Solomon et al, 2000)

• Traditional definitions• Fostering children’s moral development • Values of mutual respect through extra-curricular
activities
• Today, wellbeing is increasing attributed to:• School conditions• School relationships• Means of fulfilment• Health status

organisational support
2. Proactive policies, plans and practices
3. Supportive school climate
4. Curriculum teaching and learning
5. Protective physical environment
6. School-family-community partnerships

Pastoral Care Process
Pastoral care requires a multi-component approach, comprising 5 main school-level tasks:
1.Proactive, preventative pastoral care: Activities and educational processes that anticipate ‘critical incidents’ in children’s lives and aim to prevent and reduce the need for reactive casework.
2.Developmental pastoral curricula: Curricula developed to promote personal, social, moral, spiritual and cultural development and wellbeing through distinctive programmes, tutorial work and extracurricular activities.
![Page 22: Donna cross](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012904/546e4526af79594b588b57ba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Pastoral Care Process
3. The promotion and maintenance of an orderly and supportive / collaborative environment: building a community within the school, creating supportive systems and positive relations between all members of the community, and promoting a strong ethos of mutual care and concern.
4. Reactive pastoral casework: ‘Open door’ guidance and counselling, peer support and mentoring, welfare network (link between school, home and external agencies such as social services).
5. The management and administration of pastoral care: the process of planning, resourcing, monitoring, evaluating, encouraging and facilitating all of the above.

Consequences of bystander actions
Bystanders who witness repetitive abuse such as bullying:
– Experience considerable distress that continues into adulthood (Janson et al, 2004)
– Elevated mental health risks among 12-16 yr olds - over above that experienced by those involved in the bullying (Rivers et al, 2009)
Bystanders can escalate bullying by:– Being present (silent approval) (O’Connell et al, 1999)
– Their actions – especially reinforcing behaviours (Salmivalli et al, 2011)
![Page 36: Donna cross](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012904/546e4526af79594b588b57ba/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Bystanders
Peers are present as onlookers in 85% of bullying interactions, and play a central role in the bullying
process(Hawkins et al, 2001)
Bystanders “can be part of the problem or part of the solution”
![Page 37: Donna cross](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012904/546e4526af79594b588b57ba/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

20-30% of students are taking the supporter action load…

Behaviours of bystanders
– Assisting (20-30%)– Reinforcing (20-30%)– Defending / supporting (20%)– Reporting / No action (26-30%)

Actions as bystanders
• Students who:– See and hear bullying most likely to tell another student (66%)– Tell the person bullying to stop (53%)– Help the person being bullied at time (42%)– Get someone to help stop bullying (40%)
• Witnessed and action…– 39% told parent– 37% helped the person later on– 29% told an adult at school– 40% did nothing– 29% ignored
(Cross et al, 2009)
![Page 40: Donna cross](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012904/546e4526af79594b588b57ba/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Motivation to intervene
• Students’ motivation to intervene is related to: – Normative perceptions (Sandstrom et al, 2012)
– Perceived harm to target (Thornberg et al, 2012)
– Social status of person bullying relative to their own (Thornberg et al, 2012)
– Perceive it is none of their business/ not their moral responsibility
– Outcomes they expect from intervening and if they value these outcomes (Poyhonen et al, 2012)
– Their popularity (Poyhonen et al, 2012)
– Relationship to the target – ‘caretaker role’ (Bellmore et al, 2012)
– A strong sense of social justice (Cappadocia et al, 2012)

Bystander norms
• You shouldn’t pick on someone weaker81.5% - Year 483% - Year 6
• I feel uncomfortable watching bullying
72% - Year 4
63% - Year 6 • I like it when someone stands up for bullied
students
81% - Year 4
88% - Year 6

When peers intervene positively students:
– Stop the bullying within 10 seconds (Hawkins et al.,
2001)
– Are less likely to assign blame to victimised students (Davis, 2010)
– Have a more positive perception of school climate (Davis, 2010)
– Have a greater sense of safety at school (Davis,
2010)
– Reconciliation occurred more quickly when bystanders (Fujisawa et al, 2005)
– Have less social and mental health problems (Sainio, Veenstra, Huitsing, & Salmivalli, 2009)
![Page 43: Donna cross](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012904/546e4526af79594b588b57ba/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
When peers intervene positively students:
– Reduce repeated victimisation one year later (Sianio et al, 2009)
– Perceive action more helpful than help from adults and their own actions (Davis et al, 2010)
– Provide pro-social support that is less confrontational than adults (Hazler, 1996)
![Page 44: Donna cross](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012904/546e4526af79594b588b57ba/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Bystander behaviour may be the easiest to change…
• Interventions to address bystanders most effective in secondary schools 20% increase in bystander intervention behaviour (Polanin et al, 2012)
• Reduced negative peer perceptions and increased empathy and self efficacy for constructive bystander behaviours (Salmivalli et al, 2012)
![Page 45: Donna cross](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012904/546e4526af79594b588b57ba/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• Dobbing – Is getting someone into trouble
• Seeking help for someone being bullied
– Is getting someone out of trouble
Changing the way we think about helping…

What do students need?
AS BYSTANDERS…• Clear ethos of behavioural expectations – social norms
(included in policy)• Practise, practise… social inoculation theory … with
socially credible peers• Pro-social modelling• Diffusion of responsibility - Peer supporter threshold• Practical, well publicised, consistently delivered policies
(involving students)• Hot spots help

What does this all mean for practice?
• Location of office• Online counselling• Self help support eg: websites helplines• School psychologists known to students• Prevention versus management / case load• Student perception of control• First aid training for mental health• ‘Approachable’ teachers training / referal

Next practice?
• Peers as pastoral carers
• Online help provision and advice…
• Social information processing
• Pastoral care of staff / parents
• Diffusion of responsibility? Peer supporter threshold
• Prepared for ‘chaos’ / first aid
