The Boxall Profile

• The Boxall Profile is a two part check list to be completed by staff who know the child in class.  It provides a framework for the precise assessment of children who are failing in school and helps teachers to plan focused intervention.
• Confronted with a child whose anxiety-provoking behaviour seems to make no sense, the Profile is where you start. It gives you insights and suggests points of entry into the child’s world:  writes a teacher with a class of 6-year olds.
• It is very easy to use, quick and constructive. It is only too easy for teachers to start labelling children as aggressive or psychopathic. The Profile makes people think about what lies behind the behaviour: writes the Head of Education in a residential special school for children with serious emotional and behavioural difficulties.
