Schools: Positive Approaches to Challenging Behaviour
Our Schools Positive Approaches to Challenging Behaviour (PACB) training is specifically designed to support professionals across a range of educational settings including mainstream schools, academies, special educational provisions and residential schools.
With a knowledge base rooted in Positive Behaviour Support and trauma informed practice, our courses provide a human rights and person-centred framework that recognises the importance of promoting dignity, choice and inclusion for those being supported. Coupled with a range of primary, secondary and tertiary strategies, PRICE Training equips delegates to make sense of behaviour and respond positively to reduce the use of restraint. Our training embraces the PACE methodology to help gain an understanding of what children and young people are feeling in order to build relationships and a sense of security.
Our course includes the following modules (depending on the training needs analysis and course duration):
- Values and ethics
- Understanding and making sense of challenging behaviour
- De-escalation and defusion
- Legislation & guidance
- Restraint Related Risks
- Recording and reporting
- Reducing restrictive practices
- Post incident review
- A range of breakaway and holding techniques (minimum 2 day course)
We ask you to complete a Training Needs Analysis so we can determine your requirements.

Direct Delivery Courses
One of our trainers will come a venue of your choice and deliver a ‘closed course’ designed to meet the needs of your staff team. We will ask you to complete a Training Needs Analysis so we can fully assess your needs and determine the duration and content of the course required. Courses will be 2, 3 or 4 days depending on your needs and can include up to 15 delegates. Longer courses can be offered if needed.
Some organisations prefer to start with this approach when they first move to the PRICE Training model, while they embed our philosophy and ethos within their organisation; once established, they often then choose to move to the Train the Trainer model.
When you contact us, we will discuss the options with you. We will help you to decide which is the best model for you based on your organisation’s training needs – and which model is the most cost-effective for you.
There is an annual refresher training requirement for this course to maintain certification.
Train the Trainer Courses
Our Train-the-Trainer program equips you to deliver our Positive Behaviour Support training ‘in-house’ to your staff, tailored to your organisation’s needs. This starts with an initial five-day programme, with the opportunity to further build on these skills with our 2 day TTT Plus and 2 day Advanced Train the Trainer.
Upon successful completion, trainers are free to cascade the training to meet the needs of your staff team, giving you the ultimate flexibility to deliver training as and when required. In-house training needs to be certified by us in order to be valid, which trainers will request from us once they have delivered a course.
Your trainers will have access to our Members Area, where they will find all the resources need to deliver the training, including associated forms and documentation. There is no additional charge for this facility. The Members Area is where your trainers will request certificates for the training they have delivered (there is flat rate ‘per course’ charge for certificates).
We offer ‘open’ Train the Trainer courses at our training facility in Worcester, or, if you have a group of 6 or more staff to train as trainers, we can offer a ‘closed’ course at a venue of your choice.
There is an annual refresher requirement for this course to maintain certification.
