Janette Wallis Behaviour Solutions is owned and run by Janette Wallis, who will be familiar to many schools throughout the county for her instrumental role in delivering the Inclusion Development Programme for Behaviour. This was a major national initiative to support schools in improving staff knowledge and confidence in meeting the needs of children who present behavioural challenges, both in and out of school and can be found in every classroom in the country.
In my teaching career so far I have greatly improved the lives of many children with learning, social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. A specialist BESD/ASD teacher with certificates in NLP, CBT and Nurture Group Training, I have enjoyed a wide variety of roles in both mainstream and special education settings; including teaching, leadership, management and development positions.
This wealth of experience has led to me developing a deeper understanding of the underlying problems that surface as extreme and challenging behaviour and, with effective early intervention will enable almost every child to develop the social and emotional capability required to bring about positive outcomes in the classroom.
My most recent position was as the Head Teacher of a short stay primary school in East Lancashire – a role I thoroughly enjoyed but relinquished in order to devote more time to working more directly with children and young people who would benefit the most from my knowledge, understanding and experience. This led to me starting JWBS (Janette Wallis Behaviour Solutions).
Away from the classroom I have worked for the last 20 years with young offenders and for the last 6 years have been the Officer in charge of Accrington Junior Attendance Centre for the National Offender Management Unit. In this role I have been recognised as having one of the most successful centres in the country.
All of this has left me well placed to offer a unique and highly effective support service for children and the staff that work with/alongside them, as well as the necessary insight, advice and training for schools that ultimately proves beneficial for all parties.
