A couple of final things to keep in mind ...

The Behaviour Needs Community Forum is about bringing teachers and other professionals together who are working with challenging young people and encourage the sharing of positive ideas, support and strategies.

This forum is NOT to be used for....

Criticizing, complaining, or putting others down. This is a POSITIVE community; we are focused on POSITIVE RESULTS rather than complaining and lamenting about how wonderful school/college life would be if there were no problems. There will always be problems so let’s find solutions.

Off-topic musings. If your Aunty Betty's tabby cat needs a mention for some reason ... that's fine but please stick this type of post in the 'Anything Goes' forum. You can chat/post about whatever you want in this area (obviously no smut or personal attacks) but keep the other forums subject-specific.

Customer support issues/enquiries. Instead, please contact us directly at Behaviour Needs Helpdesk

Best wishes,

Chris Murray
