The consequences of unacceptable behaviour are clear to staff and children and any measures applied are relevant to the incident, reasonable and carried out as contemporaneously as possible. Always include children in the discussions of behaviour and consequence so they are able to learn from the situation Stoke Primary School recognises the importance of strong Mental Health. Teams of staff have been trained in both Youth Mental Health First Aid and Mental Health First Aid.

Through detailed investigation sanctions are discussed with all stakeholders to ensure that the planned action is commensurate with the behaviour issue. Consequences are therefore tailored to the situation, but the process follows these principles: Any measures taken to respond to unacceptable behaviour are appropriate to the age, understanding and individual needs of the child, for example taking into account that unacceptable or challenging behaviour may be the result of illness, bullying, certain disabilities such as autism, or communication difficulties. Measures of control, discipline and restraint used by the home are made clear to the placing authority, child, parent/s or carers before or, in an emergency placement, at the time the child is to move into the home. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) imposes strict obligations on those who handle personal data.To encourage school/parental partnership, to promote children’s education and maintain standards of behaviour. Measures of control and disciplinary measures are based on establishing positive relationships with children which are designed to help the child. Such measures are fair and consistently applied. They also encourage reparation and restitution and reduce the likelihood of negative behaviour becoming the focus of attention and subsequent disruption to the placement. If physical intervention of any kind is required, then a record should be completed in the ‘Bound and Numbered’ Book as soon as possible and within 24 hours of the incident.

Smileys are used to recognise achievement. Once a child has received 10 smileys they exchange them for a House token which adds to the House Points collected across school. Teachers need to recognise that effective conditions for learning (planning, pitch, pace, participation etc) will impact positively on general classroom behaviour. The certificates are presented to the children in achievement assemblies as a phase or whole school and then postcards are posted home for parents to celebrate the achievement with them. Any other incident deemed ‘serious’ or resulting in injury should be recorded on an Accident/Assault Incident form, the teacher’s class diary or the Playgrounds Incident Book.For fixed-period exclusions of more than five days the governing body must arrange suitable alternative full-time education, which must begin no later than the sixth day of the exclusion. For permanent exclusions, the pupil’s ‘home’ local authority must provide alternative education. Good relationships and a strong rapport with children in school enable stronger understanding of the value of good behaviour.

Staff have a collective responsibility to support all our children and that as a team we are more likely to create solutions and strategies that are effective.Long answer short – this was the case in the past. Although there is now no need to keep a numbered, bound book (unless you wish to), that advice is still being passed around as a requirement. Schools have to ‘consider how best to record such serious incidents’.

Children are encouraged to develop a proper awareness of their rights and responsibilities. Staff and children alike are clear that each individual has rights and responsibilities in relation to those who live in the home, those who work there and people in the community. Where there has been physical intervention, the child will have the right to be examined by a registered nurse or medical practitioner within 24 hours. Where necessary, searching, screening and confiscation will be used to safeguard a child/children at Stoke Primary School. Stoke Primary School adheres to ‘ Searching, Screening and Confiscation: Advice for Schools (May 2018).
