Would you like to improve behaviour support strategies in your school or setting?

Are some of your staff members more confident than others when it comes to behaviour support and responding to behaviours of concern?

If you’d like to develop a whole-school, consistent and effective approach to behaviour support? We can help you.

Flexible training options

With our training, everyone in your organisation will have the skills and strategies they need to support distressed individuals and respond to their behaviour in a way that is reasonable, proportionate, necessary and respectful.

You’ll be given a range of practical, person-centred de-escalation and crisis intervention strategies you can use to minimise risk and manage conflict safely and respectfully in your setting.

Core modules include:

• Values
• The Legal Framework
• Understanding Behaviour
• All behaviour is a form of communication
• Circles of Influence
• Conflict Spiral
• Planning and Risk Assessment
• De-escalation and De-fusion
• Verbal and Non-verbal Communication
• Repair, Reflection and Review

Intervention approaches.

Behaviour Support Training – Level One:

You’ll learn how to safely and appropriately respond to behaviour from a toolkit of non-physical, theoretical interventions and you’ll also learn simple and safe physical intervention techniques including personal safety and disengagements (if required by your setting). Our techniques are respectful, supportive and help you maintain positive relationships.

Behaviour Support Training – Level Two:

In addition to the Level One course content, you’ll become confident in a range of guides and escorts and holding skills (restraint techniques) in standing, sitting and kneeling positions safely, appropriate for your service setting needs, which focus on maximum care and respect, minimum force.

Online courses available:

You can also choose from a number of online, Level One Behaviour Training (non-physical) courses, to help everyone in your school or setting feel confident with behaviour support.

Please note, our online courses are delivered via Zoom (9am to 4pm) and participants will gain a Level One Behaviour Training (non-physical) certificate, valid for 3 years.

For groups of staff who attend an online course, additional face to face training is needed to cover the physical modules if required for your setting. Minimum numbers and additional costs may apply.
