Behaviour Smart launches AI-powered behaviour management platform for schools, special settings and children's homes across the UK

United Kingdom, 9 January 2026 - Behaviour Smart, a UK-based behaviour management software and behaviour support provider, has announced the expanded rollout of its AI-powered behaviour platform designed for schools, special education settings, alternative provisions and children's homes.

Behaviour Smart enables staff to record behaviour in seconds, analyse patterns with AI and turn every incident into meaningful support, while staying aligned with UK safeguarding expectations and statutory frameworks. The platform helps organisations move from reactive responses towards proactive, relationship-based and trauma informed behaviour support.

"Behaviour data should do more than sit in a spreadsheet," said Dean Cotton, Founder of Behaviour Smart. "When staff can log incidents quickly, see clear patterns and access trauma informed next steps, behaviour support becomes safer, more consistent and more compassionate for children and young people."

Built for real-world classrooms and care settings

Behaviour Smart has been developed with input from frontline staff in mainstream schools, special schools, alternative provisions and children's homes, so it fits into busy practice rather than creating extra workload.

The platform brings together:

• Fast incident logging for both positive and concerning behaviours
• Clear timelines and overviews for individual children and whole settings
• AI-powered behaviour insights to help identify patterns, triggers and impact over time
• SMART behaviour plans that turn data into practical support
• Post-incident learning tools to support reflection, repair and safer future planning

Behaviour Smart is designed to support children and young people with a wide range of needs, including SEN, SEMH, autism, attention-related barriers and trauma-informed needs, in a respectful and non-judgemental way.

AI-powered insights and post-incident learning

At the heart of the platform is Behaviour Smart's behaviour-specific AI, which analyses incident data in real time and highlights patterns for staff to consider. It can support teams to:

• Notice emerging trends early
• Review the impact of strategies and plans
• Focus on unmet needs and possible triggers
• Strengthen post-incident learning and repair conversations

The platform includes a dedicated Post Incident Learning and Development (PILD) app, helping staff to record reflective conversations, restorative work and agreed next steps in one place, without losing the relational focus of the work. More information on Behaviour Smart's AI capabilities is available on the AI-powered page [https://www.behavioursmart.co.uk/ai-powered].

Packages for schools, APs and children's homes

Behaviour Smart is available in tailored packages to meet the needs of different settings:

• Mainstream primary and secondary schools, where workload, consistency and early intervention are key
• Special schools and alternative provisions, where complex needs and detailed analysis are required
• Children's homes and residential care, where safeguarding, recording and joined-up planning are critical

Each package is designed to be simple to implement and includes access to Behaviour Smart's help centre, training resources and ongoing support. An overview of Behaviour Smart and its packages can be found on the company's website [https://www.behavioursmart.co.uk/what-is-behaviour-smart].

Safeguarding, data protection and MIS integration

Behaviour Smart is built around safeguarding and data protection. The platform is supported by specialist data protection partners and is used by schools and care settings that must meet strict UK safeguarding and information governance requirements.

For schools, Behaviour Smart integrates with leading Management Information Systems (MIS) via Wonde, supporting accurate attendance and enrolment data while reducing duplicate entry. More information on MIS integration is available here [https://www.behavioursmart.co.uk/mis-integration].

In addition to technical safeguards, Behaviour Smart's approach is underpinned by Positive Behaviour Support principles and trauma informed practice, helping staff to focus on relationships, regulation and long-term outcomes for children and young people.
