Behaviour Process and Three-tier Support System

At Kingsbury Academy we define behaviours that challenge as any behaviour which:

·  reduces the quality of an individual’s life.

·  reduces access to learning.

·  puts a child or young person at risk (physically or emotionally).

·  puts the people around a child or young person at risk (physically or emotionally).

· leads to responses from other people which restrict opportunities for social contact, enjoyment or learning.

Kingsbury Academy utilises the following process to support children who display behaviours that challenge:

In order to support the pupil displaying the behaviours that challenge appropriately is it is important staff implement the appropriate strategy to do this we complete a basis functional behaviour analysis:

Define	Identify	Develop	Implement
Define the behaviour of challenge (Specific)	Identify the function of behaviour e.g. Sensory Escape Attention Tangible Medical	Develop plan	Implement and evaluate the effectiveness of the plan.

This is represented as a three-tiered pyramid with each tier building on the next. At Kingsbury Academy we follow the three-tiered support system as shown below:
