Key information and guidance

This major publication offers all schools the practical guidance, information and prepared documentation to plan, implement and then develop a constructive behaviour policy. It is designed to support governors and headteachers and demonstrates how to enlist the essential support of parents, the community and key external agencies. The content covers a wide range of issues including bullying, truancy, exclusions and children at risk.

Pupil Behaviour is sensitive to the varying circumstances of schools and it therefore provides a suitable framework from which individual institutions can develop their own way forward. Ideal for producing and updating policy documentation, it can form the basis for work towards Ofsted inspections; reports to governors; information to parents; and elements of prospectuses.

Concise, accessible information is supported by case studies, audit materials and a wealth of forms, tables, handouts, questionnaires and checklists.
