Describe only what you can see and hear. The Hub offers possible interpretations and practical options for professional consideration. It does not diagnose, assess or guarantee outcomes.
Professional support tool — not a diagnostic or assessment tool
Egino's Describe Behaviour tool provides practical possibilities, prompts and strategies for professional consideration based only on the behaviour you describe.
It does not diagnose a pupil, identify a condition or additional learning need, conduct an assessment, determine the cause of behaviour, predict outcomes, or guarantee that any suggested strategy will work.
Similar behaviours can happen for very different reasons. Consider suggestions alongside your professional judgement, knowledge of the pupil, existing ALN or individual plans, safeguarding information, risk assessments and your setting's policies and procedures.
Do not enter names or information that could identify a child or young person. Where there is an immediate safeguarding or safety concern, follow your setting's established procedures and seek appropriate professional support.
Keep it anonymous: do not enter pupil names, dates of birth, addresses or other identifying information.
Describe what you can see and hear. You can include what happened immediately before it, what the pupil is doing, what adults have already tried, who is nearby and whether the pupil is becoming more or less regulated.
