What course of action is needed?

· How does the behaviour management plan include and support teacher colleagues, students, parents/carers, external professionals and community representatives? How are teachers supported? E.g. education, resources and personal support; counsellor.

· Implementation and predicted outcome - When and in what order? How best to implement for best results? What are expected gains for such a plan? For the school/adolescent/teacher/parents? (short term/long term)
