Hi, it means how are the boundaries and rules that your setting has in place are enforced or 'applied/put into action, and if, when checked against what's written in the setting's policy and procedures they comply.
Maybe look at what the boundaries and rules are in your setting? eg. no hitting or shouting...
and how is this behaviour discouraged, handled or managed by colleagues, children themselves?
the answer to is the 'application of boundaries & rules ie. how a technique or strategy has been 'applied to reduce inappropriate behaviour and in effect support positive behaviour.
Does that 'handling contravene any of the setting's policies or procedures .. eg. by using unnecessary or unlawful physical intervention, intervention that escalates confilct & aggression, causes harm and injury ..
Encouraging discussion and reflection on incidents is a possible procedure/strategy/technique - how that happens is 'application. It enables children to see what went on, why things occured and maybe how to prevent similar situations happening again - which can in essence support a setting's policies and procedures in being lawful applications that support positive behaviour, promoting well-being, rights and the five positive outcomes of the national policy ECM.
Times of more challenging behaviour will have management procedures in place that can also be examined to see how they are applied/put into practice and if they 'fit with policies and procedures.
