Promoting Positive Behaviour & De-escalation – Advanced (Zoom)

£370.00 3 hours

Description

Effective de-escalation techniques are crucial in various settings, including schools, workplaces and residential spaces. These techniques can prevent conflicts from escalating into violence, reduce stress, and create a more positive environment. We must recognise that looked-after children and young people may exhibit different challenging behaviours for various reasons.

Strategies are needed for responding to and managing these behaviours with sensitivity and understanding. This training offers valuable insights into challenging behaviour and how individuals can react to different behaviours in ways that acknowledge each individual's unique needs.

Key Components of the Training Include:

Emotional Intelligence:
- Recognising and understanding emotions in oneself and others.
- Developing empathy and perspective-taking skills.
- Managing stress and emotional responses.

Communication Skills:
- Active listening techniques.
- Non-verbal communication cues.
- Assertiveness training.
- Effective questioning and paraphrasing.

Conflict Resolution Strategies:
- Identifying the root causes of conflict.
- Negotiation and compromise skills.
- Mediation techniques.
- Problem-solving approaches.

De-escalation Techniques:
- Calming strategies (e.g., deep breathing, relaxation techniques).
- Body language and physical presence.
- Time-out and space techniques.
- Verbal de-escalation tactics.

We believe this training assists carers and social care staff in understanding the complexities of negative behaviour and empowers them to address underlying needs by promoting alternative, constructive interventions. This training also delves into past experiences that may have influenced challenging behaviour. It emphasises the positive experiences we can provide young people to help them build resilience and manage their reactions to difficult situations.

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!
