Whole-School Behaviour Strategy

Clarify the legal do’s & don’ts around discipline to improve attendance, minimise disruption and engage reluctant learners

In the wake of the Education Bill and the Government’s latest reforms, tackling poor behaviour and maintaining strict discipline are back on the agenda.  In a bid to reinstate adult authority teachers have been given greater powers to use ‘reasonable force’, stop and search pupils and afforded greater anonymity; but are now challenged with improving behaviour inside and outside the school gates.

Top tips to embed a whole-school behaviour strategy that is in-line with the latest legal advice 

The 3rd annual Whole-School Behaviour Strategy conference will outline your legal obligations and help you to translate the new guidelines of the Education Bill into practice.
