PACE for Schools

PACE for Schools gives staff practical tools to build stronger relationships, respond more effectively to challenging behaviour and create calmer, more supportive classrooms.

Grounded in trauma-informed practice, it helps staff understand what sits behind behaviour and respond in ways that support engagement, emotional regulation and readiness to learn.

For schools facing increasing complexity, disrupted attendance, and the impact of challenging behaviour on pupils and staff, PACE provides a consistent, practical approach that can support better outcomes across the whole school community.

While standalone e-learning is ideal for self-paced study, and Zoom excels at real-time group interaction, combining the two creates a far more dynamic learning experience.

Using them together gives you the best of both worlds:

  • Flexible Foundation: Learners absorb core concepts, policy frameworks, and essential theory on their own time through interactive e-learning modules.
  • Deep Practice: Live Zoom sessions transform passive knowledge into active skills through breakout discussions, practical scenarios, and live Q&A.
  • Sustained Impact: Digital materials remain accessible for ongoing reference long after the live session ends.
  • Proven Results: Combining flexible online knowledge building with live, reflective discussion leads to significantly higher retention rates, better critical thinking during crises, and consistent standards of care across your entire workforce.

Empowering Safety: Bespoke Safeguarding & Child Protection Training

Why Choose Bespoke Training?

Generic training can leave staff feeling unprepared for the real-life scenarios they face. Our tailored approach ensures the content, delivery method, and case studies are directly relevant to your sector (e.g., education, healthcare, sport, charity, corporate), your local policies, and the specific vulnerabilities and risks present in your community.

Our Specialised Training Pillars

We design engaging, practical, and compliant training across three core areas:

  • For Professionals Working with Children (Child Protection): Focuses on recognising the signs of abuse and neglect, statutory guidance (e.g., Working Together to Safeguard Children), robust reporting procedures, and the creation of a safe, child-focused culture.
  • For Professionals Working with Adults (Adult Safeguarding): Focuses on the principles of the Care Act, understanding different types of harm, promoting wellbeing, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) considerations, and ensuring person-led safeguarding responses.
  • Blended Cohorts (Safeguarding for All Ages): Ideal for organisations whose staff or volunteers interact with both children and adults (e.g., community centres, housing associations, religious organisations). This training highlights the common principles of good practice while clearly delineating the different legal frameworks, signs of harm, and reporting routes for each demographic.

Invest in training that transforms knowledge into action. Equip your team with the confidence and competence to protect those in your care proactively.
