The Education Secretary today (June 29) called on school leaders, parents and teachers to share their views on behaviour management in schools ahead of the publication of new guidelines set to be released ahead of the start of the academic year in September.

The six-week review will seek views on issues including the use of so-called “removal rooms”, plans to create “calm classrooms” and the banning of mobile phones in schools.
