This unit intends to provide the legal framework in which teachers can operate in England and Wales related to behaviour. It is important to understand these duties, as they should inform policy and protect staff and pupils.

During this unit, learners will familiarise themselves with the characteristics of high-level disruptive behaviour and the legal parameters for using force. The unit also considers two diametrically opposed approaches to managing behaviour in schools:

  1. zero-tolerance
  2. non-confrontational strategies.

Learners can reflect on their own school’s policy concerning these approaches.

Aims and outcomes

  • Identify high-level disruptive behaviour and understand the legal framework for using force.
  • Explore zero-tolerance and non-confrontational approaches to behaviour management.
  • Learn about non-confrontational behaviour management strategies.
  • Evaluate potential drawbacks of behaviour management approaches.
