What Will You Learn

We believe all behaviour is communication driven by experiences and emotions. Our training programmes help you understand the drivers and motivations displayed by distressed individuals and learn positive ways to manage challenging situations.

Build staff confidence

Our positive toolkit approach gives practical de-escalation and crisis intervention strategies you can use to minimise risk and manage conflict safely and respectfully in your setting. Build individual confidence and expertise so everyone knows how to deal with challenging behaviour appropriately and consistently.

Use Team Teach training to develop your team dynamic and shared vision of how to support distressed individuals to create strong, positive relationships between staff and service users.

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.
