As the two previous articles have demonstrated, group work can help young people understand their feelings and manage their behaviour more effectively. However such initiatives depend for their success on a school climate which supports the efforts of such young people to improve. In this article, Julie Radford outlines a framework designed to help schools achieve behaviour policies consistent with their agreed values and to undertake policy making in this area as an exercise in collaborative decision making. The approach described here was used in infant, junior and primary schools, and was positively evaluated in terms of increased consistency in approach and more positive responses to children.
