The problem
"Uncertainty is where stress lives."

Every school has a behaviour policy. Few schools have a way of making that policy consistent across every adult, in every corridor, in every difficult moment.

The gap between what the policy says and what actually happens isn't a failure of intent. It's a failure of support. Staff under pressure default to instinct — and instinct varies.

Now What? closes that gap.

The framework

Three questions.
Every answer.

01
Is anyone unsafe right now?
Physical safety is non-negotiable. This question settles it immediately and triggers the appropriate response.
02
Was harm caused or intended?
Establishes the nature and severity of the incident, separating disruption from something more serious.
03
Is learning still possible?
Determines the immediate classroom impact and whether the situation requires removal or can be managed in situ.
Who it's for
Classroom teacher
Feel confident in the moment
No more second-guessing. No more wondering if you're being too hard or not hard enough. The policy tells you what to do — Now What? makes it accessible when you need it most.
Deputy head / pastoral lead
Hold the line consistently
Every incident handled the same way, regardless of which adult is involved. Defensible decisions, clear escalation pathways, and a record that tells the story over time.
Headteacher / senior leader
Your policy, actually working
The gap between a well-written behaviour policy and consistent practice across your school. Now What? is what closes it — without adding to anyone's workload.
