Too often, the way in which schools respond to difficult pupil behaviour risks making things worse for everyone. This Paul Dix behaviour download sets out what schools should and should not be doing to manage the behaviour of pupils – particularly those with SEND.

Paul Dix behaviour advice

There are many children whose behaviour perpetually communicates an unmet need. All too often it is wrongly interpreted as simple defiance. Children who are screaming for help can find themselves in an ever-increasing cycle of punishment. 

An outstanding school is a school that can succeed with all learners – not just the compliant ones. In this download, behaviour expert Paul Dix sets out what schools can do to help manage pupils’ behaviour, and what they definitely shouldn’t do.

He covers:

  • Isolation booths
  • Tents inside classrooms
  • Chairs in corridors
  • Limiting separation
  • Consistent understanding
  • The role of learning mentors
  • Restorative conversations
  • Therapeutic support
  • Safe spaces
