Team Teach About Us

Team Teach has developed strategies to move beyond behaviour management

These strategies promote team building, personal safety, communication, and verbal and non-verbal de-escalation techniques. These techniques support behaviours, reducing risk and minimising the need for physical restrictive practices.

We believe that understanding behaviour triggers and recognising all behaviour as a form of communication is key, and in some settings, where appropriate, offer safe, respectful and minimal physical restrictive practices intervention skills as a last resort, with an emphasis on de-escalation strategies being 95% of our focus.

A whole-setting approach to behaviour support

We see this as just one part of a whole-setting approach to behaviour support and help services develop acceptable, appropriate, authorised responses to distressed and dysregulated behaviours. These responses maintain positive relationships and ensure safety for all.

As such, our framework is entirely compatible with Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) approaches for individuals with a disability or additional learning needs and Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL, PB4L, and UBRS) in education services.

Additionally, all training emphasises the importance of recording, reporting, monitoring, and evaluating of all incidents.
