Behaviour Smart has significantly reduced the time spent completing and analysing our physical intervention/incident forms... It is vital that we can look at incidents objectively over time to improve how we support our extremely vulnerable pupils, whilst also not increasing workload for staff.

What Schools Are Saying About Behaviour Smart

Thank you so much once again for your visit and time you invested in us. It was great to hear all of your new features and forward planning. So proud to be part of your journey. Massive well done to you, you’re smashing it!!

Kerry Butler - Deputy Head
Pictor Academy

Behaviour Smart has significantly reduced the time spent completing and analysing our physical intervention/incident forms (previously we used paper forms and manual analysis). We are an Independent Special School for children with SEMH needs, and it is vital that we can look at incidents objectively over time to improve how we support our extremely vulnerable pupils, whilst also not increasing workload for staff. Behaviour Smart has given us that in a very easy-to-use software package with excellent after-sales support.

Faye - Headteacher
Flourish With Us

Behaviour Smart has enabled us to generate clear and accurate individual Smart Plans highlighting a range of effective behaviour management strategies for all supporting staff to utilise. Our pupils are now more able to manage their own behaviour with emphasis upon de-escalation, risk and restraint reduction." "Behaviour Smart has also allowed us to record precise incident reports around the management of challenging behaviour with a key focus upon reflection and the effectiveness of each strategy used. Relationships amongst our pupils and staff remain very positive due to the ongoing importance placed upon post incident learning

Ryan - Assistant Headteacher
Cribden House Special School

I use Behaviour Smart to record and analyse behaviour of children with complex needs. It is a comprehensive recording tool which is also flexible in allowing you to configure it to reflect the specific needs and systems in place in your service. It tracks behaviours and uses the data inputted to produce comprehensive and personalised behaviour plans. I would highly recommend it. The support from Dean and his tech team is great too!!"
