Behaviour Identification and Tracking

Behaviour Difficulty Identification, Intervention and Tracking Document
This EXCEL document was designed for use in a mainstream setting. It has been used across several schools, as a way of gathering key data, in supporting children with various forms of social, emotional, mental health and other behavioural difficulties. It can be adapted to suit individual school, and local authority, settings.
The aim of the document is to identify:-
• The specific forms of behaviour that a child might be displaying
• How often the behaviour occurred
• Any additional information which might be causing the difficulty
• Any referrals made so far
• Preventative and Adaptive Strategies used
• Sanctions used

The document can be used for:-
Individual pupils:-
• As a personal record of changes in behaviour
• As a way of gathering all the relevant data together in one place
• To identify possible causes of the behaviour
• To identify external support services, who might be able to provide advice on supporting the child
• To identify, and track, the strategies put in place to support the child
• As a fore-runner to providing evidence to support a request for an EHCP.
• To provide information for parents regarding their child’s behaviour
• As a way of gathering information about a child’s behaviour at home, and in other external settings, from parents

School level information:-
• As a way of identifying all the pupils who have social, emotional, mental health, or other behaviour difficulties
• To identify patterns of behaviour within different groups, classes, or settings
• As a way of linking possible causes of the behaviour, with the behaviour seen
• As a way of providing the most relevant, and suitable, interventions for each child
• As a way of identifying groups of children who could access preventative, or intervention strategies together
• To track the effectiveness of any interventions
• To identify professional development requirements
• As evidence of the effectiveness of support for children with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties
