Overview
In recognition of the need to support schools in helping children and
young people to manage often inappropriate and challenging behaviour,
the size and remit of the BST has been increased.
All schools and CSF front line case workers will now be able to access
the resources of the BST for children up to the age of 19.
Each BST will include and work jointly with staff from the following
disciplines:
- Educational Psychology (EP)
- Advisory /Behaviour Support Teachers
- Child Adolescent and Mental Health (CAMHS)
- Special Needs officers
- Family workers from CSF
- Reintegration officers
- ESCs
- Primary extended role
- Student Services
The wide ranging professional expertise available to the BST will help
ensure that each referral, either pupil focused or school based, will
receive the most appropriate and effective form of support.
School based interventions can be complimented by direct work with the
family, helping to ensure a consistent approach to managing the child’s
behaviour.
All core members of the BST will offer a range of services to children,
schools, families and other professional groups. These will include:
- A consultation service
- Individual pupil focused work
- INSET and training
- Systemic work
- Facilitate and run parent/carer groups as appropriate
All BST staff will work collaboratively with other CSF staff/voluntary
agencies. BST Operational Guidance - October 2003
