A toolkit of holistic strategies on de-escalation and crisis intervention, both verbal and non-verbal for supporting and reducing instances of disruptive and distressed behaviours.
The Team Teach approach gives practical de-escalation and intervention strategies you can use to minimise risk and conflict safely and respectfully in your setting. Build individual confidence and expertise so everyone knows how to support behaviour appropriately and consistently Team Teach training helps develop your team dynamic and shared vision of how to support distressed individuals to create strong, positive relationships between staff and service users.

Booking
As an Area Operating Licence holder, I can lead training for up to 12 delegates without an additional tutor. To ensure the highest standards of delivery and safety there is, however, a requirement to have at least two tutors running courses for 13-24 participants. An additional tutor is required for 25-36 participants; 37-48 participants etc.
Please feel free to chat with me about the various options available to you that will maximise staff access to the training whilst ensuring the best value for your setting. Examples may include:
you may even wish to host a course whereby you provide the venue and then invite and charge local schools per place yourself.
