Behaviour Support Service

The Behaviour Support Service works with schools and academies to improve behaviour and to secure engagement of children and young people. We strive to achieve positive outcomes for all learners and their families and will support the schools and academies to further develop a culture of effective behaviour management and work with learners from Nursery through to Key Stage 4.

Our established model of integrative practices allows us to work in partnership with and support referrals to a wide range of external agencies within Early Help and medical/mental health services. We work with learners and their support network to achieve real change in young people’s lives.

The Behaviour Support Service provides support, advice, outreach, and specialist training within schools to support effective behaviour management and reflective practice, with the overall aim of reducing levels of disruptive behaviour, improving learning and enhancing progress.

The Behaviour Support Service operates a Service Level Agreement with a range of mainstream partners. The service provided is generally broken down into hours of support delivered into school.
