Zones of Regulation
The Zones of Regulation
The Zones of Regulation are used throughout the school and are a key part of our Behaviour Regulation Policy.
The Zones of Regulation is a framework designed to help individuals, particularly children, develop self-regulation skills and emotional control. It categorizes emotions and states of alertness into four coloured zones:
Blue Zone: Low states of alertness (sad, tired).
Green Zone: Optimal state of alertness (calm, focused).
Yellow Zone: Heightened state of alertness (frustrated, anxious).
Red Zone: Extremely heightened state of alertness (angry, out of control).
The Zones of Regulation provide a common language for children to express and understand their emotions, as well as tools and strategies to help them move between zones. The goal is to help pupils recognise and regulate their emotions, leading to improved self-control, social interactions, and overall well-being.
