Behaviour Policy and
Practice Reviews:
A trauma-informed and
equity-centred approach
School leaders, are you seeking to establish a consistent and
compassionate approach to behaviour across your school?
​
Do your staff need tools to tackle persistent low-level disruption
that do not dehumanise students?
​
​
​We support schools to evaluate behaviour practice and transform behaviour culture.
OUR IMPACT:
Too often school teams are working with behaviour policies that do not reflect or respond effectively to the needs of the school community.
​
Our distinct blend of capacity-building and leadership support leads to lasting transformation, where staff and students feel more invested and inspired.​

​
Tracey worked with my behaviour lead and Deputy Head, leading to a complete transformation of our approach to behaviour management.
​
Tracey was instrumental in the way that we changed our thinking and our practice to ensure that all staff and students lived the values that we have as a school on a day-to-day basis. This involved supporting us with breaking down and simplifying our values into something that was both tangible and meaningful – and then translating these into specific behaviour designed to embed them into our everyday language, practice and expectations.

​
I had been a Behaviour Lead for 12 years before beginning the work with Tracey and to honest, I found the role very challenging. I was constantly questioning myself about decisions I had made in the day.
​
Once we engaged in a behaviour review process, the clarity about my role increased incredibly. The way we respond to behaviour now is a lot less emotionally driven; we are calm and have developed an effective and consistent approach. Tracey’s approach to behaviour policy and practice really does work and made a massive change to my school.
