STL 3 HELP TO KEEP CHILDREN SAFE

Description of Behaviour Policy:

It is the policy of my school that all persons will be treated with respect and valued.
The school is committed to providinga safe environment for all pupils, staff and visitors.
Many behaviour problems arise from an ineffective, inappropriate curriculum environment or poor communication systems, the school paysattention to these areas as to prevent many of the behavioural issues that could occur.
At the school are ‘The Golden Rules’ which entail the following:
1.Treat people kindly
2.Listen to each other
3.Lookafter our school environment
4.Do our best
These rules were divised by the School Council in 2009.

AIMS stated in the policy are:
.To value the individual
.To promote self awareness andrespect for others
.To provide a supportive and caring environment
.To maximize individual potential
.To create a stimulating learning environment where pupils feel
Safe
.To celebrate success in allits forms
.To create an ethos of high expectation in both learning and behaviour

The manner in which children behave is in part dependent upon the environment around them. Here are the differentenvironments affecting behaviour.

An environment becomes ‘emotionally secure’ whenadults and children feel:

Valued Respected
Supported Wanted
Secure enough to take risks Empowered
