The purpose:

This publication has been written
for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is
hoped to put behaviour management
on the agenda in colleges and
training organisations. Secondly, it is
intended to support a training initiative developed by LSDA NI as part of its mission to provide targeted staff
development for the sector. Thirdly,
it is intended to promote a whole
organisation approach to addressing
challenging and disruptive behaviour.

The audience:

It has been designed for lecturers,
trainers, tutors and managers and
leaders in colleges and training
organisations. It is meant to be
relevant to all those who deliver and
support the delivery of learning in an
educational or training setting.

Although intended for the post-16 sector, it may be of interest to other providers e.g. schools and community groups or voluntary agencies.
