1.1 Policies and procedures of the setting relevant to promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour We take great pride in our school in promoting positive behaviour.

In all circumstances, employees’ professional judgement will be exercised and for the vast majority of employees this Code of Conduct will serve only to confirm what has always been their practice. If employees have any doubts about points in this Code of Conduct, or how they should act in particular circumstances, they would consult with the Headteacher.
It is important that all agree to the principles it contains in order for the school to function successfully as a partnership between parents, staff and pupils.
● rewards and sanctions – we aim to create a healthy balance between rewards and sanctions with both being clearly specified. By implementing these we aim for pupils to learn to expect fair and consistently applied sanctions for inappropriate behaviour and to ensure we retain a safe and positive learning environment.
Integral to the system of rewards is an emphasis on praise both informal and formal to individuals and groups. Positive recognition is the cornerstone of the school’s behaviour policy.
Rewards and praise will be given wherever possible for both work and behaviour to encourage a positive attitude to learning.

1.1 explain how legislation, frameworks, codes of practice and policies relating to positive behaviour are applied to own working practice
1.1 Legislation is a set of laws that have been created by the government to make sure all childcare settings are run correctly. To promote positive behaviour, legislation’s such as the Children Act 1989, Human Rights Act 1998, Every Child Matters 2004, Equality Act 2010 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are followed by the setting. These Act’s include rules and regulations that a setting is required to follow in order to promote positive behaviour.
All schools must have policies that are designed to reflect the rights and responsibilities of those within the school. These policies should provide guidance to staff and visitors who attend the school on ways to ensure inclusive practise is used.
The behaviour policy outlines the school's aims of how to create “a positive community atmosphere in which children can learn effectively by promoting good standards of behaviour”. The school aims to recognise and respond to good behaviour in children, promoting a positive classroom environment where the focus is on praise of children's good behaviour and work. It outlines rewards and sanctions, and sets out a code of conduct that all children, staff, parents and governors should be aware of.

In my setting, the class teacher and LSA’s often add positive words like ‘fantastic’, ‘brilliant’ or ‘well done’ when acknowledging their input towards the class. We also use house tokens to

It is important to establish appropriate behaviour and respect for others in order to fully realise the potential of all within and to ensure each student is safe from both physical and psychological harm. Appropriate behaviour must apply to both student and teacher. I, as a teacher, must follow a Code of Practice in order foster individual growth and learning. The principles of Good Practice are to treat people with care, respect and dignity. To recognise that I, as a teacher, am a trusted representative of my work place. I must ensure communication with students is open and clear and assess the risks to my students of the activities by carrying out a thorough risk assessment before each session.
