A toolkit of strategies
Team Teach training helps every individual in your organisation respond in a way that is reasonable, proportionate, and necessary.
Our techniques promote a respectful, supportive approach. You will learn strategies that maintain positive relationships and encourage de-escalation together with a thorough needs analysis. For lower-risk settings, this may include low-level physical intervention techniques, including personal safety, guiding and prompts appropriate for the environment.
For higher-risk settings, our behaviour support training teaches strategies that ensure personal safety and the reduction of risk and reduction of physical intervention. Participants learn a framework of authorised physical intervention techniques specifically designed to support and respond to distressed behaviour safely. This training includes relevant legal standards and expectations related to the use of force, and reporting, recording, monitoring, and evaluating requirements.
In-person training: Face-to-face sessions are offered specifically for your organisation across Australia and New Zealand, delivered in-house at a venue provided by your organisation. Trainer courses are delivered in a variety of states or can be delivered on-site as a private course for your organisation.
Blended learning: Available for Level 1 and Level 2 courses, reducing the amount of face-to-face time required. Our online modules are self-paced independent learning, that can be completed at a time that suits you.
Virtual training: Where there is not a need for physical intervention techniques you can learn from the comfort of your home or workplace with our online learning options. *

“All behaviour is communication” is the core belief that underpins all of our training. By understanding the driving forces behind different behaviours we can create positive behaviour cultures and improve outcomes for those in our care.
We want to create a deeper understanding around behaviour and equip people with strategies to de-escalate situations, create and repair relationships and foster environments with positive behaviour cultures.
We’re dedicated to improving the lives and outcomes of the people our training supports.
