Supporting Positive Behaviour - Early Intervention Strategies
The aim of the document is to provide schools and services with a clear and succinct overview of preventative behaviour strategies and support available within the Local Authority. Many services have contributed towards the creation of this information and it has been organised on the basis of what individual teams can offer.I hope you find this information useful in supporting some of the vulnerable young people who display behavioural difficulties in school and settings.
