4. Universal Approaches (for all pupils)

The first tier of the behaviour support pathway is universal. It refers to the consistent, whole-school practices that benefit all pupils. These strategies are embedded in daily routines, relationships and expectations, creating the conditions for positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing.

Universal approaches are preventative in nature, aiming to promote inclusion, strengthen a sense of belonging and support every pupil to engage with learning. They are part of everyday teaching and school life and do not rely on additional or specialist resources.
