STOCKPORT BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT SERVICE SUPPORT & INTERVENTIONS 2016/2017

INTRODUCTION Stockport Behaviour Support Service aims to help schools remove behaviour barriers to learning. We work with school staff to identify the support, strategies and interventions that a student needs to settle to learn. We often advise on how to manage the behaviour of a student in crisis - but we always emphasise the need to work proactively to identify the drivers of the behaviour. We like to use the Iceberg analogy at BSS. The behaviours we see are the tip of the iceberg, and the children’s unmet needs are below the water, driving those behaviours. We have a range of support, advice and interventions available to help schools address the unmet needs of their students. This booklet provides an overview of what we can offer this academic year.
