Two dedicated paths, one unified approach
Inclusion by Team Teach launches with two face-to-face training courses. These help staff understand how neurodivergence can affect learning, communication, regulation, behaviour, and transition points.

Inclusive Practice: Autism

A CPD-certified, face-to-face training programme helping staff understand what sits behind an autistic pupil’s response, not just the behaviour itself.

Grounded in current research, it gives staff practical strategies to support sensory, communication and environmental needs, helping every pupil participate with confidence.

Inclusive Practice: ADHD

A CPD-certified, face-to-face training programme helping staff understand the cognitive, emotional and behavioural characteristics of ADHD and what they mean for the classroom.

Staff gain evidence-informed strategies to support engagement, regulation and communication, with practical skills they can use straight away.

Inclusion by Team Teach Courses are CPD certified.

The evolving inclusion landscape
As classrooms become more complex, reactive interventions have limited impact and don’t create longer-term change. This increases workloads, isolates specialists, and leaves teaching teams feeling unable to effectively support complex neurodivergent, SEND and SEMH student profiles.

Classroom teachers are constantly balancing whole-class academic progress with meeting individual needs. Teaching assistants and support staff may feel underequipped to respond to high-anxiety behaviour with calm, informed confidence. Pastoral teams and behaviour leads have limited time to focus on proactive prevention.

Team Teach supports sustainable whole-school inclusion by relieving these frontline pressures through a holistic, whole-school, shared framework
This unites your whole school around a cohesive approach that turns reactive measures into calmer, inclusive environments, where every pupil can thrive.

At Team Teach, our 25-year history in education is built on a transformative, holistic ideology:

All behaviour is communication

By adapting the environment to support a child’s underlying sensory and cognitive profile, teaching teams can proactively reduce the frequency and intensity of crisis points, transforming escalating situations into predictable moments of co-regulation.

Partnering with Team Teach means adopting a shared framework that unites your entire staff team, from leadership to classroom assistants, in a consistent approach to school culture.

Team Teach is the perfect partner to support inclusion in your school
We have extensive experience supporting schools to build inclusive learning environments that meet a diverse range of needs.

Inclusion requires a deep understanding of child psychology, sensory processing needs, and emotional regulation. We have spent over two decades helping practitioners to foster positive behaviour cultures and develop whole-school inclusion.

  • Our footprint in UK special education:

    Team Teach is the trusted training provider for large share  of all SEND schools across the UK, working hand-in-hand with specialist educators to understand exactly how to help children feel safe, regulated, and included.

  • Led by experienced special school leadership:

    Our training programmes are developed under the guidance of our Chief Learning and Development Officer, Jonathan Newport, a former headteacher of a Barnardo’s special school.

Practical, face-to-face inclusion training.
Our training helps schools redesign the learning environment, considering a range of factors, to better meet the needs of all pupils and reduce the reliance on bolt-on, reactive strategies.

Rather than abstract theory, Team Teach trains your staff together using real-world scenarios, de-escalation scripts, and hands-on environmental adaptation techniques.

By learning to recognise the early signs of sensory or emotional distress, staff can proactively de-escalate situations to reduce risk for everyone.

The Impact of a unified inclusion culture on your school.
Creating a culture of inclusion helps schools foster environments where every child can thrive, belong, and reach their full potential.

  • Proactive environmental adaptation: Adjustments to light, sound, seating, and spaces reduce sensory overload, creating accessible environments.

  • Early trigger recognition: Staff learn to spot subtle physical, sensory, and verbal indicators of anxiety early, enabling gentle adjustments that keep pupils safely engaged in the classroom.

  • Immediate co-regulation: Educators practise co-regulation techniques that help distressed pupils regulate their emotions.

How does Team Teach support inclusion across different roles within a school?
By giving classroom staff the practical skills and shared vocabulary to recognise and respond to diverse sensory and emotional needs, this training builds the capability for inclusive, quality-first teaching across the whole staff team, easing the pressure on SENDCOs and school leaders so they can focus on embedding a sustainable, whole-school inclusion strategy.

For classroom teachers and teaching assistants, Team Teach transforms daily practice by turning high-stress moments into predictable opportunities for co-regulation. Frontline staff gain the practical de-escalation skills and shared vocabulary needed to lower classroom anxiety. This unified approach keeps teaching accessible to all learners and can reduce the need for exclusions.

This cultural shift dramatically impacts the strategic focus of SENDCOs and Inclusion Leads. By distributing universal SEND and SEMH capability across the entire staff team, Team Teach removes operational bottlenecks where only a few specialists are responsible for inclusion. Instead, every educator is empowered to deliver confident quality-first teaching that accommodates diverse sensory and emotional needs seamlessly within a mainstream setting.

For headteachers and school leaders, this training establishes a legally compliant framework that drives an inclusive whole-school culture. By equipping staff with the skills to de-escalate distress safely within the classroom, schools may see a reduction in internal exclusion rates and a boost in staff morale. This builds lasting confidence across the workforce while aligning with inspection expectations for embedding inclusion at every level of school life.

Ultimately, the impact of this training is felt by the pupils themselves. Children and young people experience predictable, sensory-adapted learning spaces. Vulnerable learners feel understood, physically safe, and emotionally regulated, supporting them to remain in the classroom and participate fully in learning alongside their peers.

What changes will you see in your school when partnering with Team Teach?
When your whole school community implements Team Teach training, the shift is in the culture itself. Right after our face-to-face sessions, headteachers, SENDCOs, classroom teachers, and teaching assistants experience a shared sense of confidence, with a unified, inspection-ready approach to inclusion.

Teachers and TAs are equipped with practical, relevant strategies they can apply and rely on, without adding to their workload. While leadership teams feel reassured that the whole school is moving in the same supportive direction.

Classroom teachers can experience fewer low-level disruptions, and a predictable environment where pupils can learn and participate fully. SENDCOs can see teaching teams empowered to independently implement reasonable adjustments, freeing up vital specialist time. School leaders can work towards a reduction in internal suspensions, a lift in overall staff wellbeing, and an inclusive school culture for everyone.
