What the petition asks
We want the Government to end the Behaviour Hub programme and investigate the impact of school policies such as toilet restrictions, shortened breaks, isolation, zero tolerance and SLANT on the mental health of students.
We have serious concerns that punitive techniques and regimented school culture (morning addresses, silence as default, etc) may cause significant harm to children, especially SEND pupils.
Behaviour is important and we want schools to be calm and focussed so every student has the best chance to learn. But, we believe there are better methods to achieve this aim – particularly restorative and relational approaches.
Please investigate behaviour polices in schools in England and end the Behaviour Hub programme.
