Rewriting the Script (PDF)

Let’s be honest: most behaviour policies look great on paper and fall apart in practice.

We’ve got exclusion booths called “reflection rooms,” detentions dressed up as learning, and trauma-informed posters in schools that still punish kids for dysregulating.

This book is about calling that out — and offering something better.

👇 What’s inside:

• 8 brutally honest chapters unpacking the flaws in mainstream behaviour systems
• Real-life reflections from frontline experience in education
• Research-backed insight from the UK and beyond
• A challenge to every “script” we’ve normalised — from isolation rooms to zero tolerance

❌ What this isn’t:

• A “quick fix” guide
• A glossy leadership training manual
• A toolkit full of laminated slogans

✅ What it is:

• A grounded, reflective resource for educators who care about culture
• A call to action for staff who know the system isn’t working
• A reminder that behaviour is communication — and our responses write the script

If you’ve ever felt torn between the policy and what’s right for a child… this is for you.
