Behaviour Management and the Implications of the DDA
This guidance is written for teachers and headteachers. However, the issues addressed in the guidance have implications for all staff in schools. In order to deal with these issues effectively and appropriately schools will need to consider behaviour management and the implications of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) in the context of their work to remodel the school workforce.
The guidance explains what schools need to do to ensure that they take full account of the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act when dealing with pupil indiscipline. It sets out steps that schools can take to help avoid unlawful discrimination.
Good practice on disability equality should not require schools to establish practice that is bureaucratic or burdensome. The guidance will help schools to establish policies, procedures and practice that are clear and concise.
