Issue - meetings

The Executive Board received a report which included the new Dignity and Respect in the Workplace Guidance for Schools. 

The guidance defined unacceptable behaviour and identified strategies that could be utilised to overcome the debilitating effects of such behaviour.  The key approach and the essence of the guidance, was to expect and promote acceptable behaviour as the best way to prevent unacceptable behaviour.

Members spoke of the need to ensure that all schools have read and understood the guidance, it was therefore proposed that Headteachers be requested to schedule the guidance within their inset days for discussion.

UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED that:

13.1    the adoption of the Dignity and Respect in the Workplace Guidance for            Schools be endorsed;

13.2    Headteachers be requested to schedule the Dignity and Respect in the Workplace Guidance for Schools into their inset days for discussion.
