NBSS Level 1 whole school support is provided to school management and staff to assist them in strengthening, developing and evaluating proactive and preventative systems, structures programmes, policies, practices and initiatives with respect to behaviour.

The aim of this support is to stimulate the creation of school cultures that actively promote positive behaviour to enrich the learning and teaching experiences of all members of the school community.

Level 1 support is comprised of a range of research-driven strategies, initiatives, focus areas and continued professional development in-service modules that are offered to schools in order to assist them in developing a whole school approach to positive behaviour. 

As part of Level 1 support, partner schools are required to select a number of representative staff members to form a Positive Behaviour Strategy Team.
