Behaviour Support Team (BST)
Meeting the needs of children who experience social, emotional and behavioural difficulties represents a major challenge for many schools. The Behaviour Support Team (BST) provides support in developing strategies for promoting and sustaining good behaviour to pre-school, primary and post primary schools as well as special schools and provisions. The team provides this support on a number of levels:
Advice and support to schools on the development of whole school approaches designed to promote positive behaviour and the emotional wellbeing of pupils
Specific advice and support to teachers in the use of appropriate classroom management skills to meet the needs of individual and groups of pupils who experience social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) Suitable referrals are those pupils whose difficulties are significant but not as yet serious enough to warrant referral to the Education Psychology Service. If the school staff are concerned that the pupil may require long term behavioural support, they should consult with their educational psychologist.
Supporting training for beginning teachers during induction and early professional development
Specialist training in Team Teach (Safe Handling) for teachers and classroom assistants in special schools
Advice and guidance on policy development and risk assessment
In order to assess the impact of BST input, particularly in terms of capacity building, schools may be asked to complete a short evaluation regarding referrals and courses attended at the end of the academic year.
