Our approach to managing behaviour is underpinned by the development of authentic relationships and unconditional positive regard for all. It is our intent that all children are able to get to a place where they can intrinsically make appropriate choices. We have high expectations of behaviour and recognise that behaviour may be a form of communication and the expression of some form of underlying need.

At Broomwood Primary School we implement the following relational inclusion guiding principles to support children in managing their behaviour within school.

• We believe that a child would do better if they could.
• That behaviour is supported and managed effectively through relationships.
• We accept all emotions but not behaviours.
• We identify and address the cause, not the symptoms.
• We foster a culture of compassion and repair.
