North Lincolnshire Council supports schools, young people with behavioural difficulties and their parents/carers to:
- enable them to deliver or receive inclusive education
- remove the barriers to learning created by young people with challenging behaviour
- remove the barriers to learning experienced by young people with challenging behaviour
The Behaviour Support Service supports schools and pupils through the following services:
The priorities for the service are to increase the life chances and raise the attainment of young people with behavioural difficulties by:
- Ensuring that the adults who support these young people work together. And that they understand and implement the council's behaviour strategies (Positive Solutions and Team Teach)
- Reducing the number of permanent exclusions by providing a positive solution to the school and the young person
- Providing targeted services to schools or young people and their parents/carers who have been identified as needing support from the behaviour support team
- Removing barriers to learning by increasing school attendance. Or supporting them in an alternative Key Stage 4 pathway if they are in years 10 and 11
- Working closely with early years teams, the multi agency preventative team and with colleagues from health, Children's Services and the voluntary sector to support early intervention. And to take shared responsibility for educating the whole child.
