It is helpful for everyone that lunchtime supervisors are respected and an integral part of discipline, participating fully in all incentive and sanction systems, so they are seen to 'back each other up'. This 24-page A4 booklet reminds lunchtime supervisors of the importance of their role and gives useful techniques for solving problems, being consistent and promoting positive behaviour and calm, safe playtimes. To top this off there are pages of the MDSA's friend - games, for dry and wet playtimes.

Every MDSA should have their own copy of this 15-page A4 booklet to reflect and develop their own skills and assertive approach, gaining and giving respect as a positive model for the children. A 21- point plan shows how the school and MDSAs can help and support each other, recognising the importance of creating friendly, secure, creative and happy lunchtimes. MDSAs can be a real asset in helping children feel positive about schools: is your school supporting your lunchtime assistants sufficiently?

Playtimes can be stressful for children; some find it hard to join in and make friends, others are bewildered by the noise and activity. The Quality Circle Time Model advocates having children with responsibility to befriend them, a strategy found to reduce bullying and bring out different sides to disruptive and shy children. These hats with embroidered name are a fitting 'badge of office' for volunteers who have successfully applied and passed an interview to be a Friend (see books for further details and ideas). Choose from the'always cool' adjustable baseball-style cap, a snuggly knitted hat or a soft fleece version.
Knitted Friends Hat £5.25
Baseball Friends Hat £4.95
