We have a four-tier procedure for dealing with inappropriate behaviour.
Tutor/BHCAC Staff will verbally warn the child that their behaviour is inappropriate and the reason why.
Timeout – the child will be sent to the office area to be cared for by office staff.
If appropriate, the child will be returned to class after approximately 10 minutes in the BHCAC office. If the child is not deemed ready to return to the class he/she will be kept at the office for a further 10 minutes.
On returning to the class, if the child’s behaviour does not improve, the child will be returned to the office area and staff will call their parent/carer for immediate collection.
Parents please note:
• Children must wear smocks or old clothes for clay and painting classes plus bring a towel for wheel classes. For cooking classes, wear an apron and bring a container.
• If you arrive early, please stay with your children until the class begins. We cannot supervise children before the class has started.
