Introduction

Most schools will use the behaviour area of SIMS .net to record incidences of negative behaviour, such as disruption, bullying, etc. Positive behaviour is then recorded in the achievement section of SIMS .net. This enables schools to monitor and compare points for both negative and positive behaviour. However, some schools may wish to record other pastoral events of a day-to-day nature such as contacts with parents or contact with some outside agencies in the Behaviour Management section. These can also be added to the Behaviour panel with a points value of zero to reflect that they are not negative events.

When recording behaviour events, specifying the location is particularly useful, as a report can be produced and run, based on the event location. This enables \u2018hot spot\u2019 areas for poor behaviour, such as the Dining Hall to be identified. This would allow appropriate preventative measures to be taken, such as additional staffing. It is also possible to link one or more documents to the behaviour record to provide any required supplementary information.

Each incident can be allocated a number of points with a running total for all behaviour events recorded.
Recording behaviour can be useful to provide historical evidence of poor behaviour for exclusions either for
the Board of Governors or Local Authorities.

Behaviour events can be reported on using SIMS .net reporting, with a range of pre-defined behaviour
reports available. For more information, please enterREPCAT in the Site Search field for the latest
SIMS .net Pre-define Reporting Catalogue.

Some of the values that appear in the drop-down lists (lookups) when recording behaviour events can be edited to meet the needs of your school. For example, the type of behaviour event can be edited using a lookup called Behaviour Type.

The following lookups are applicable when recording behaviour events:
\ue000
Behaviour Location \u2013add/remove locations to match those in your school?
\ue000
Behaviour Outcome \u2013 what sanctions exist in your school? Are these available in this lookup?
\ue000
Behaviour Time \u2013 does this lookup reflect the times in your school day?
\ue000
Behaviour Type \u2013 what types of behaviour do you want to record?
These lookups (amongst many others) can be edited via Tools | Lookups | Maintain. For more information,
please see the How to Maintain Lookups help sheet (SupportNet Resource Number 10588).
