Following Paul Dix and Bill Gribble both being invited to give evidence to the Education Select Committee, both Pivotal trainers have been quoted in the Education Select Committee Report on Behaviour and Discipline in Schools.

 

"Mr Paul Dix, a behaviour consultant, told us of the need for schools to be absolutely clear and consistent about the parameters within which the school expects their pupils to behave:

"The best schools have a sign above the door regardless of what context they are working in, which says, "This is how we do it here." When you walk through the doors of that school, the expectations of behaviour are different from those outside. The behaviours that you use in the community or the behaviours that you use with your parents might well work out there, but when you walk through that door, that is how they do it there. The best schools have absolute consistency. I don't care whether the system they use is behaviourist or whether the system they use is extremely old-fashioned, the critical difference is that people sign up to it and teachers act with one voice and one message: "This is how we do it here"."
