Summarise the policies and procedures of the setting relevant to promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour.

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.

1.1 Describe the policies and procedures of the setting relevant to promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour.

POSITIVE: Maintaining good relations with Parents, Carers is an essential element in the healthy development of a child. This then enables the practitioner to understand the child more (i.e. how the child behaves at home and alternatively how the child behaves at school). Parents may be then able to voice any concerns they have with the practitioner and this will therefore result in a healthy parent – practitioner relationship allowing good communication which will aid in them both in aiding the child. Each communication technique needs to be varied for each child.

Children and young people should feel happy, safe, respected and included in the school or early years setting environment and all staff should be proactive in promoting positive behavior in the classroom, playground and the wider community. Policies and practice which make sure the safety and wellbeing of children should already be in place and it is this legislation develop through many years and experiences, and mistakes, that underpin the working practices that are used today.

Q1) the policies and procedures for positive behaviour is to promote positive behaviour in a good way to reward the child by praise or to reward with something like a sticker. We also have codes of conduct which includes respect so we need to respect the children and listen to them. Calm is one so stay calm and try not get agitated. at my setting in our police it is very important to be a good role model to the children and to show them how we act at nursery and to other children so we have to be very polite and friendly to other people never argue in front of the children never swear in front of the children always be happy and clam towards the children and colleagues around them.

The current legislation relating to Positive Behavioural Support is titled - the Positive Behaviour Support Policy – Safe management of challenging behaviour in children and young people with learning

| Support children, young people and colleagues to identify the situations and circumstances which trigger inappropriate behavioural responses and ways of avoiding these from happening

The Positive Behaviour Leadership Model by Bill Rogers seeks to train pre service and practicing teachers to understand the influence they have as the behavioural role model in their class (Edwards, & Watts, 2008). In terms of behaviour, students will emulate the manner the teacher interacts with students within the classroom. Thus it is vitally important for the teacher to model their behavioural expectations for their class (Rogers, 2002).

I believe that children in early childhood centres and early primary school do not always need to be kept safe at all times, and need to be exposed to risk-taking. Children need to be able to take risks to learn how to challenge themselves, and to learn how to keep themselves safe from harm. Exposing a child to a certain level of acceptable risk-taking, but protecting children from serious injury or death. I observe my children taking risks every day when they play outside, inside, or with other children. There is always a risk of injury when children play with one another.

The contributions of Behaviourism can still be noticed today in approaches to disciplining children in school; behaviour management systems are often governed by positive

Chaplain (2010) discusses how a multilevel nature of behaviour management, which extends from each child as a unique individual to the whole school ethos, can create effective learning. This coincides with clear expectations for behaviour in order to allow learning to happen.
