Team Teach Accreditations
and Certifications
and Certifications
At Team Teach, we bring over 30 years of experience as an accredited, award-winning provider of behaviour support training, working in partnership with education, health, and social care organisations.
We deliver accessible, flexible, and practical training solutions that are tailored to the specific needs of each organisation. Our training places a strong emphasis on de-escalation and preventative approaches, with 95% of course content focused de-escalation and supporting safe, respectful environments for everyone in your care. Physical interventions are taught only where there is an identified need and are always framed within a safeguarding and risk reduction context.
With our courses, you can be confident that you and your staff remain up to date with statutory guidance and legal requirements appropriate for your setting. All Team Teach techniques undergo an independent medical risk assessment, in line with the requirements set by the Institute of Conflict Management. This provides assurance that physical interventions are evidence informed, risk assessed and delivered within a clear safeguarding framework.
