Create a Behaviour Incident record

This guide describes how to create a Behaviour Incident record in Record Manager.
Behaviour Incidents include physical altercations, verbal abuse, vandalism, theft, bullying, harassment, or any other actions that violate rules, policies, or societal expectations.

Report a Behaviour Incident

1. Sign in to Record Manager > Dashboard.
2. In the Behaviour Incident box at the top of your Dashboard, select Create.
   

   

   Image 1. Select Create on the Behaviour Incident box.

3. In the Create a Behaviour Incident form:
   1. Enter the Student’s Name. You can enter more than one student. For students who have siblings at school, you can select Add Siblings.
      

      Important
      When you add multiple students to a record, the record will appear on each student’s Chronology. Add the names of other students only if they are key participants in the event.

   2. Enter a short descriptive Title that summarises the incident.
   3. Select the Date of Incident and Time of Incident. The date and time default to when you created the record.
   4. Select the Category of Incident. Choose up to three category checkboxes. See Behaviour Incident Categories.
   5. Enter the Details Of What Happened.
      

      Tip
      Write as much detail as you can about what you heard, saw, did and said. Give a factual account and not your opinion.

   6. Attach a File if needed. You can attach up to ten files with a maximum file size of 40 MB each. See Supported File Types.
   7. (For non-DSLs) Indicate if you have verbally informed a DSL by selecting Yes or No.
   8. (Optional) To notify another staff member, select their name from the Choose another staff member to notify? dropdown.
      

      Tip
      Use this field to notify non-DSL staff members of this incident. Record Manager will automatically send the report to all DSLs when you submit the record.

   9. (Optional) Select an Important Information:
      • Physical Intervention: A physical intervention took place as part of this event.
      • Early Help Assessment Needed: The event or concern warrants an Early Help Assessment. The reviewing DSL will see your recommendation and, if they deem it necessary, will arrange the assessment

      Note
      If you can’t decide on the right Important Information to add, you can skip this step. Your DSL can select the Important Information when they review the record.

   10. If you've observed injuries on the student, select Edit on the Body Map, indicate the location(s) of the injuries, then select Save.
   11. Select Submit.

The record appears on the Dashboard and Record Manager will alert your school’s DSL(s) to the incident by email.
