It can provide guidance to staff when dealing with inappropriate behaviour presented by a child/young person. It states how to encourage positive behaviour, the importance of being fair and consistent, I feel it is very important that all staff are consistent and apply the rules, rewards and consequences in the same way. Children’s behaviour must be managed effectively and in a manner appropriate for their stage of development and particular needs. Each school or setting should have a named person that deals with behaviour management. I feel it is important to remain professional and not label children as ‘Naughty’ instead we should be choosing to say words such as ‘un-acceptable or
The school aims to develop self-discipline and a sense of social responsibility in all children. The Education act 2006 section 89 states that the head teacher must ensure that measures are taken with a view of; * Promoting self-discipline and a proper regard for authority. * Encouraging good behaviour and respect and in particular preventing all forms of bullying among pupils. * Ensuring that the standard of behaviour from pupils is acceptable. There is also a preferred practices list for staff, this list includes; * Mirroring pupil’s behaviour.
2.2 Roles and responsibilities when keeping children safe All governors and staff have a shared responsibility to safeguard children. They all have to be familiar with and follow setting’s procedures and protocols for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children. However, there are certain designated persons in school with more specific roles and responsibilities, who must be contact to express concerns about a child’s welfare. All Staff and Volunteers To know how to work with the policy/procedures of the setting To know when and how to respond to when concern are raised To appreciate the guidance of the relevant Local Safeguarding Children Board To supervise children within set ratios To observe and monitor children to make sure they grown up in confidence To work as a part of professional team To monitor children health and general well- being To be a role model of positive behavior To be suitable qualified with full DBS clearance Protect children from harm from Internet/social media etc. Class teacher To work as a key person and actively engage with family in order to develop positive relationships and develop trust To maintain attendance record to maintain safe collection procedure for children The Designated Person for Child Protection (DPCP): has knowledge and skills for recognising and acting upon Child Protection concerns.
Trained teachers will automatically know the types of measures to use incase a student exhibits a certain undesirable behavior. These measures will ensure that students behave in an appropriate manner and their performance is excellent. They will also make sure that the relationship and interaction between them and their students is healthy therefore building a favorable learning environment. They should be in a favorable condition to notice various problems that individual students go through, advice, keep close watch and offer valid solutions. For a school to be the best place to mould good behavior and emotions, it needs to have consistent rules and consequences in case an individual breaks them.
UNIT 304 Knowledge Understand policies and procedures for promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour. 1.1 The policies and procedures we use in our setting relevant to promoting positive behaviour are the ‘Good behaviour for learning policy’ and the ‘Dealing with bullying policy’. The Good behaviour for learning policy explains what, as a setting, we expect from our pupils, staff, parents, governors and even visitors. It sets out our code of conduct, it explains how, as a school, we develop a positive learning atmosphere, what classroom management strategies we use and about the rewards and sanctions too. It lays out what we expect from the parents and what we will give back to them.
In addition to have good manners e.g. saying please and thank you. Pupils should be kind, understanding, supportive to one another, and respect pupils who may have learning difficulties or disabilities. Additionally pupils should be aware that no form of bullying will be tolerated and there will be consequences for those that do. Furthermore pupils should come to school ready to learn and have the correct uniform and equipment.
What strategies might you employ to encourage pupils to behave appropriately? All schools have rules which relate to Health and Safety, Bullying, Drug and Aggressive Behaviour. These rules are provided and explained to the children on a regular basis to re-enforce that they are non-negotiable. These rules are illustrated around the school and in every classroom to act as a reminder and demonstrate the type of behaviour expected from them. I would always use encouraging words, be approachable, understanding and show empathy in order to stimulate and encourage positive behaviour.
Unit 11 1 + 2 Duty of care It is our responsibility to make sure all the children are in a safe environment and are being looked after well at all times. We should all be seeing the potential dangers of things and making sure we abide by the national standards. All members of staff should communicate with each other at all times to prevent any miss-communication. Duty of care safeguards children by protecting them from anything that may cause them harm either through accidents or even spreading infections, you must make sure you set clear boundaries for children’s behaviour. I make sure I go by all these in my work role so I know I’m safeguarding the children to the best of my ability.
All staff in school should know and use rules consistently and behaviour should be monitored closely by the schools senior management. Children and young people should be shown fair and consistent boundaries at all times they respond well when they know what is expected of them, if all members of staff use the same strategies when managing behaviour. If behaviour is not managed well this could waste lesson time and children’s learning could suffer. Children should know the sanction and rewards and the order in which it will be applied no matter who talks to them about their behaviour. If they are consistent and fair the children get to understand quickly what id acceptable and what’s not.
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.
