Wellbeing and 

Behaviour Management

Inclusive, Engaging and Respectful Schools

All New South Wales public schools follow the same wellbeing and behaviour management policy as set out by the NSW Department of Education.  

Inclusive, Engaging and Respectful schools ensures every student is engaged and learns to their fullest capability and ensures all students, teachers and staff are safe in school. 


The Inclusive, Engaging and Respectful schools package includes three new policies that help our schools manage the diverse spectrum of student needs to improve outcomes for all students in every public school across New South Wales.

Based on international and Australian best-practice, the policies have been developed with the input of teachers, principals, parents, carers and leading educational experts.

The new policies, framework and procedures aim to strengthen the engagement and participation of all students, including those with disability, complex and challenging behaviours and additional needs. They provide more support to teachers and also ensure all students, teachers and staff are safe in school.
