We acknowledge that different cultures have differing definitions or approaches to Child Protection and Safeguarding and managing behaviour in young people. ISP does not condone physical punishment or discipline in any way and promotes the use of alternative methods such as positive behaviour management. We seek the support of parents in protecting and nurturing their children’s emotional development by backing the school’s policy of non-physical punishment.
Research indicates that physical discipline does not improve behaviour and can lead to emotions, behavioural and academic problems over time.
Our guide to Physical Discipline is available below. This has been translated into key languages for the ISP Community*
