Download – Behaviour support plan
Behaviour support plans (BSPs) are important to ensure consistency across adults and situations. They allow for both proactive and reactive behaviour management strategies. They are specific to individual children and are aimed at reducing or replacing specific inappropriate behaviours with more acceptable ones. In order to do this, known motivators are used to consistently reward appropriate behaviour while inappropriate behaviours are met with a low arousal (dead pan) response.
How to use:
With two or more members of staff who know the child well, work through the template filling in each of the sections. Ensure that all staff are aware of the BSP and use the strategies suggested. It is essential to maintain consistency across adults in the school setting in order for the child to progress. As such all adults who come into contact with the child must have access to the BSP and follow it. This includes dinner ladies, office staff and caretakers. Ensure the BSP is regularly reviewed and updated introducing new strategies that are appropriate as the child progresses.
