Developed with input from headteachers, teaching unions, local government and educational psychologists, the guidance promotes building positive relationships and behaviour across the whole school community. It focuses on improving outcomes by reinforcing positive behaviour and working to reduce the likelihood of negative behaviour occurring in future.
Various approaches are available to schools, ranging from classroom management approaches, to support strategies and the use of exclusion as a last resort.
The guidance has been developed in collaboration with the Scottish Advisory Group on Relationships and Behaviour in Schools (SAGRABIS), which is jointly chaired with COSLA, to reflect that it is local government who have the responsibility for delivering education in Scotland.
This is the latest commitment to be delivered through the joint Relationships and Behaviour in schools action plan with COSLA.
Guidance is clear that exclusion should only be used as a last resort, where proportionate and there is no appropriate alternative.
Guidance on risk assessments will support schools to consider how they manage the risk of harm occurring, or a pattern of behaviour that causes, or is likely to cause, harm to self or others.
Guidance on fostering positive, inclusive and safe school environments.
