Behaviour Support Service
- A statutory obligation to teach pupils excluded from school.
- A preventative role to ensure that a wide range of support strategies are available to all schools for pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties to prevent social exclusion.
Pupils referred to the Behaviour Support Service (BSS) can have a range of behaviour problems that are often expressed as disruption and aggression or causing more withdrawn behaviour or refusal to attend school.
BSS works with schools to help youngsters to solve these problems. Where necessary, BSS provides learning activity through a place out of school in a Behaviour Support centre. Wherever possible pupils are helped to return to full time education in school, with whatever support may be required.
Behaviour management in schools and the wider community is being given a high priority in the city, and an Anti-Social Behaviour Strategy has been developed by Birmingham City Council.
The Behaviour Support Service is incorporating this into the strategy for managing social, emotional and behavioural difficulties within the particular context of education, in schools, services and complementary provision.
