Schools & Education Services
Our Schools Programme equips teaching and support staff with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to understand and safely respond to behaviours that disrupt learning or place pupils and staff at risk. The course provides practical de-escalation strategies and prepares staff to respond safely when immediate action is needed to protect everyone involved.
View CoursesAs today’s schools and classroom settings become more complex environments for teachers and support staff, we are here to support you.
More than ever, care and school staff are encountering pupils with complex needs and behaviours that present risks to themselves, those providing the learning and support, as well as the wider public. How well organisations respond to behaviour has a direct impact on the educational and emotional outcomes for young people as well as staff morale.
We specialise in empowering professionals with the tools and knowledge to create positive outcomes for vulnerable pupils. By focusing on a trauma-informed approach, we equip teams to address complex behaviours safely, effectively and with compassion.
Our Schools Positive Approaches to Challenging Behaviour Courses promote dignity, choice, and inclusion while reducing the need for restraint and strengthening relationships. By understanding the underlying causes of behaviour, staff can develop personalised support plans that help pupils communicate their needs more effectively, build positive coping strategies, and replace behaviours of concern with more constructive ways of expressing themselves.
Where staff need to physically intervene to ensure safety, we have a suite of disengagement and holding techniques, from low arousal responses to 1, 2 person holds that can quickly and safely return stability to the classroom. We have also designed a number of techniques specifically for supporting small children.
All of our techniques have been biomechanically and anatomically assessed by independent experts.
