CM Club: Need help writing a tricky policy

[KatyMac]

Sort of a "if a child maliciously hurts another child I'm going to sack them" policy

Obviously allowing for age/stage appropriateness (so a 2yo biting is (while not acceptable but understandably) OK ish, while a 10yr kneeing another child in the stomach is not - or is it & I am unreasonable

Can it not be a clause in a more general policy? So a "reserve the right to withdraw care..." type thing. Allows flexibility and discretion.

What about putting it under your behaviour management policy? Something along hte lines of "in exceptional cases of repeated physical violence, after consultation with parents/carers, the provision of care may have to be withdrawn"

I guess so

My behaviour policy doesn't allow for bad behaviour just naughtiness

I (luckily) haven't had bad behaviour before

I agree with fromgirders. Good idea to change your behaviour policy.

I have it in my Behaviour Policy too. Along the lines of if aftre speaking to/working with parent and child to stop the unwanted behaviour i reserve the right to terminate the contract due to the bahaviour. Last resort etc.
