Promote children and young people’s positive behaviour. Section 1 – Understand policies and procedures for promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour. 1.1 Summarise the policies and procedures of the setting relevant to promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour. Our school is proud of its high standards of behaviour. The school aims to develop self-discipline and a sense of social responsibility in all children.
They monitor the success of the work that is done by local agencies to guarantee that all practitioners within the area have a clear understanding of safeguarding procedures, policies and requirements. The S-O-T SCB identifies multi-agency success where there are concerns with regards to safeguarding issues and they assist with the recognition of training needs and requirements across the children’s workforce. Within the school setting we must be aware that we have a clear and defined role in relation to child protection. Professionals working with children and young people should be fully trained in safeguarding by a nominated safeguarding adviser and have the opportunity to receive training in order to develop their understanding of the signs and indicators of abuse or neglect, this training is offered every 3 years. In order for child protection to work effectively we need to ensure we have good inter relationships with other agencies and good co-operation from professionals that are competent in responding to child protection situations.
HSC 3045: Promote positive behaviour Understand how legislation, frameworks, codes of practice and policies relate to positive behaviour support. 1.1 Explain how legislation, frameworks, codes of practice and policies related to positive behaviour support are applied to own working practice. All aspects of my job role are regulated by policies and current legislation. The mandatory training that we attend has been designed to cover all aspects of legislation such as the Children's Act, which provides a Code of Practice to enable us provide the best possible care and support for children and young people. We also have inspections from OFSTED who ensure we are meeting, not only care standards, but also those relating to behaviour and how we encourage positive behaviour is evaluated.
1.1 Effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children and adults in order to gather information and pass it on effectively and accurately. It is important to establish positive communication to gain trust. Children who see adults communicating with each other and other children in a positive manner are more likely to learn positive and effective communication skills themselves. For example, it is important to check what we are saying or how we are acting and in times of stress or excitement, and display conversations, mannerisms, body language and behaviour that we expect from the children. Effective communication with parents ensures that they are confident in the school and their child’s learning, which in turn is passed on to the child.
I would always use encouraging words, be approachable, understanding and show empathy in order to stimulate and encourage positive behaviour. I should set clear rules and boundaries in the classroom that will support and encourage positive behaviour from my first introduction to the pupils. My manner, body language, posture and communication must appear confident and authoritative as pupils are more likely to co-operate. Teaching strategies that I could use are: • Keeping a classroom clean and tidy, attractive, safe and well stocked with materials and resources will help to create a calming atmosphere for the pupils and also help them to respect their school environment • Displaying pupils work is an excellent way of encouraging them to take pride in their own work and abilities • Photographs of pupils, where permitted, working respectfully and displaying them in the classroom also promotes good behaviour • Encouraging and praising children with low self-esteem to lead teams or groups will help build positive behaviour, personality and character • Provide stickers and creative wall charts to show a pupils success and always verbally praise a pupils positive behaviour and contribution to the classroom to illustrate their success • Star of the Week: This strategy is adopted by many KS1 and KS2 schools; it should be used for different reasons each week to encourage less able pupils or pupils with more challenging
