The government has launched a call for evidence asking teachers, parents and other staff for their views and policies on managing good behaviour ahead of planned updates to Government guidance later this year on behaviour, discipline, suspensions and permanent exclusions.
The six-week consultation seeks views on how schools maintain calm classrooms, the use of removal rooms and creating mobile phone-free school days, among other measures.
This next step follows the department’s £10 million behaviour hubs programme which partners heads and leaders from England’s highest performing multi-academy trusts with schools struggling with poor behaviour and discipline.
Richard Fuller, Member of Parliament for North East Bedfordshire said:
We want children to learn in a safe and calm environment, where they are free from the disruption caused to teachers and pupils by poor behaviour in schools so this call for evidence is part of our continuing drive to raise standards and make sure all pupils can thrive in the classroom.
The government wants to hear from teachers, staff and parents on managing behaviour and discipline in schools, including the use of mobile phones, so I would encourage residents to take part.
