Improving relationships and behaviour

There is a system-wide concern about behaviour in schools in Scotland, particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic (Behaviour in Scottish schools: research report 2023). In 2024, the Scottish Government published a joint action plan to address the issues (Relationships and behaviour in schools: national action plan 2024 to 2027).

These materials are designed to provide research, guidance, support, professional learning, exemplification and advice to practitioners in education for improving relationships and behaviour within their context.
