The question
To ask the Scottish Government, in light of its report, Life at Age 12: Initial Findings from the Growing Up in Scotland Study, which stated that 40% of young boys engage in anti-social behaviour, what action it is taking to address this.
The answer
We are actively working with schools and local authorities to tackle serious disruptive behaviour, violence and anti-social behaviour. Developing and promoting positive relationships and behaviour with children and young people is at the heart of all of our schools, and all staff should be proactive in promoting this.
Our new policy guidance, ‘Developing a positive whole school ethos and culture: relationships, learning and behaviour’ https://beta.gov.scot/publications/developing-positive-whole-school-ethos-culture-relationships-learning-behaviour/ , in response to the findings of the most recent Behaviour in Scottish Schools Research contains actions designed to support local authorities, establishments, practitioners and partners to further improve the ethos and culture, and relationships and behaviour in Scottish schools.
