Team Teach is a holistic, whole-team approach that empowers staff to confidently carry out their duty of care obligations whilst placing an emphasis on proactive and preemptive approaches to behaviours that may present as challenging.

Booking

As an Area Operating Licence holder, I am able to 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:

• twilight sessions
• end of day/twilight combinations
• a rolling programme of training over a period of time
• you may even wish to host a course whereby you provide the venue and then invite and charge local schools per place yourself.
