De-escalation: Professionals Training
De-escalation is a targeted intervention for children who are likely to escalate low-level incidents into aggressive or dangerous behaviour. It is carried out by a staff member using calm, non-threatening verbal communication, gestures and body language to diffuse, re-direct, or de-escalate a situation during which there is conflict. This training gives experience of using the techniques effectively to reduce the likelihood of incidents escalating into extreme situations involving inappropriate behaviour.
The aims are:
· To recognise when children are becoming anxious and in need of support with calming strategies
· To be aware of the situations in which children may benefit from help to de-escalate their behaviour
· To practise techniques and strategies for de-escalation and managing extreme situations
Cost: £145.00 per person for 3-hour training package delivered online via Zoom.
Training materials including slides, handouts and an evaluation form are provided for attendees.

Building Resilience: Professionals Training
The training is for professionals working with children who display patterns of behaviour consistent with an inability to manage issues, conflicts and feelings.

The training provides staff with theoretical support and practical strategies for building pupils’ resilience.
The aims are:
· To develop an understanding of the psychology of resilience and why it is important
· To have an awareness of the challenges for many children for which resilience may be needed
· To have an understanding of the role of adults in the building children’s resilience
· To be equipped with skills to help children build their resilience
Cost: £145.00 per person for 3-hour training package delivered online via Zoom.
