Training courses for schools

Positive Intervention

Our core course

Our six-module positive handling and behaviour management programme. Staff learn to understand behaviour, de-escalate and, only as a last resort, intervene physically, safely and within the law.

Trauma Informed Practice

Help your whole staff understand and support pupils who have experienced adverse childhood experiences. Nearly half of all children in the UK have been exposed to at least one. Trauma can have a deep and lasting effect on behaviour, learning and development, and this course puts pupils' emotional and psychological wellbeing at the centre of school life.

  • Five trauma-informed principles embedded throughout

  • The neuroscience of trauma and ACEs, explained clearly

  • A change in whole-school culture, not a single intervention

  • Restorative practice, regulation and co-regulation strategie
