Team Teach
Behaviour Support Training
(Levels 1, 2 & Advanced)
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.
This course will equip individuals with an understanding of the values and philosophy of the Team Teach approach to behaviour support. We are motivated by the need to support the individual with the aim of keeping those who have become distressed safe, as well as those around them.
We believe that all behaviour is communication being driven by experiences and emotions. We deliver a toolkit approach that is 95% understanding behaviours and encouraging de-escalation. The 5% assesses the need for physical intervention in conjunction with a need’s analysis.
Our training is also suitable for professionals working in Health and Social Care, both to Adult Care and Children and Youth Services.

A toolkit of strategies

Our techniques promote a respectful, supportive approach. You will learn strategies that maintain positive relationships and encourage de-escalation together with a thorough needs analysis.
For lower-risk settings, this may include safe positive handling techniques, including personal safety, appropriate for the environment.
For higher-risk settings, our behaviour training teaches strategies that emphasise personal safety and the reduction of risk and restraint. Participants learn a wide range of authorised physical techniques specifically designed to support and respond to distressed behaviour safely. This training includes relevant legal standards and expectations related to the use of force, and reporting, recording, monitoring and evaluating requirements.
