This handbook resource has been developed as an essential guide for teachers in Tuvalu to help them create an enabling environment for children in the classroom by promoting inclusivity, non-violence and non-discrimination as an alternative and a more positive means of behaviour management.

The handbook is user friendly and a one-stop shop giving confidence to teachers, parents and community members in understanding the issues surrounding corporal punishment and moving a step closer to realising children's right to protection from all forms of violence in all settings.
