Stepping Forward - Sharing What Works
Recommendation 16
The taskforce recommends that:
-
every school develop its capacity to recognise, at the earliest possible
time, behaviour issues which indicate that young people are at risk of becoming
disconnected from their peers, family, school and community.
-
all teachers, in-school support staff and the staff of youth and community
agencies have opportunities for professional development, through initial and
in-service training, that equips them with the skills for early recognition of
'at risk' behaviours in young people and assists them to effectively engage
families and other appropriate supports in school and the community.
-
peer support networks are established in schools and local communities
with appropriate training and support for peer network facilitators.
-
local community and government agencies be adequately resourced and
skilled to play a role in the early recognition of 'at risk' behaviours and in
responding appropriately.
