Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) – Advanced (Zoom)

From: £370.00 3 hours

Description

Break the cycle of escalation to restore Calm, connection, and adult authority without resorting to punishment.

 

When facing severe, violent, controlling, or self-destructive behaviours in children and adolescents, standard parenting strategies and classroom management often fail. Developed by Professor Haim Omer and adapted from civil rights movements, Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) offers a proven, therapeutic, and relational framework for parents, carers, and educators in crisis.

 

NVR replaces reactive shouting, threats, and power struggles with a quiet, unwavering commitment to the young person’s wellbeing. It empowers adults to change their own responses first, creating the ultimate lever for lasting behavioural change and family healing.

Key Learning Highlights

  • Rebuild Parental & Professional Presence: Develop a calm, visible, and unwavering stance that restores authority through engagement rather than force or aggression.
  • Master De-Escalation & the NVR Pause: Learn practical strategies including physical and cognitive self-regulation to resist provoking behaviours without escalating conflict.
  • Break the Isolation with Social Support: Build a trusted network of allies (family, friends, or professionals) to stand in solidarity, support the adult, and remove the secrecy surrounding severe behaviour.
  • Deliver the Formal Announcement: Draft and present clear, non-confrontational declarations of intent that establish firm limits while affirming unconditional love and commitment.
  • Offer Unconditional Reconciliation Gestures: Keep relational doors open and repair trust through small, warm acts of care that are completely unlinked to compliance or apologies.

Why Choose This Approach?

Backed by over 30 years of research and evidence showing an 80%+ reduction in violent incidents, NVR proves that you never have to choose between love and limits. Grounded in trauma-informed principles, this course delivers a strategic, compassionate roadmap out of conflict and into genuine connection.

 

Who Should Attend: Parents, Foster Carers, Adopters, Teachers, Teaching Assistants, School Leaders, Social Workers, Therapists, and Residential Care Staff supporting children with complex or high-risk behaviours.

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.

Need more time?

We recognise that sometimes groups need more time for discussions and group work. This can mean that a two-hour session is just not long enough to explore the curriculum and engage in question and answer sessions. So we are you offering the opportunity to extend the session by an hour to allow your trainees the chance to explore the curriculum fully!
