"The Galigir Room": a resourced provision for young people with social, emotional and mental health difficulties (SEMH) in their first years at secondary school.

This paper examines the values, vision and practice originally outlined in a proposal for a secondary phase resourced provision for young people with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) challenges. The provision was based on a well‐established model (the 'Jarjums Room') which had been implemented in Cherbourg Primary School in Eastleigh, England. The article offers a first‐hand narrative account of the way that this initiative, the 'Galigir Room', was conceptualised, successfully embraced and implemented, thanks to the commitment of a senior leadership team, a group of staff and governors and the foresight and support of the local secondary school.
