Team Teach™
Team Teach is accredited training designed to equip schools and educational settings with the strategies and techniques to support children and young people with challenging behaviour. Team Teach promotes the least intrusive positive handling strategy with an emphasis on exhausting all verbal and non-verbal de-escalation techniques before physical handling methods are utilised.
The Team Teach approach emphasises positive relationships as being the key element in behaviour support, with physical techniques serving as only one part of an overall approach.
Team Teach training in de-escalation techniques and physical interventions is dependent upon the needs of the school / establishment. The approach adopted is clearly structured and calibrated against the level of risk being encountered.
We can provide support and training on a variety of topics such as :
- Understanding aggressive behaviour
- Crisis management
- The legal framework
- Behaviours which challenge us / pupils
Training options can include:
- 1 day: 6 hour course for low risk settings

- De-escalation training
