Positive Behaviour

The Positive Behaviour Team consists of professional trainers who have a depth of knowledge and experience in working and supporting young people with challenging behaviour at all levels.

Our aim as a team is to support and train all staff/carers that work and care for young people who demonstrate challenging behaviour. We offer a wide range of training to staff in the support and care of young people.

Our main aim is for staff to be calm, positive and purposeful in their approach, to have high expectations of the participation and behaviour of pupils and young people.

Settings use our approaches, very effectively, in the management of challenging and difficult behaviours in order to support the learning of pupils/young people.

One of our main holistic approaches is Positive Handling Training: The Positive Physical Interventions Team offer a BILD accredited training for adults working and supporting children and young people in all LA & Independent service sectors, parents & carers.  Worcestershire have adopted the Team Teach programme in positive handling strategies through a whole-setting holistic approach, working with leadership and management, actively committed to reducing restraint and risk.   There are several course options, varying in length and intensity, each designed to meet the need of the setting, staff and children/young people. The make-up of the training consists of power point presentation and table-top activities. These explore behaviour, aggression and its causes, de-escalation, diversion, responses to the stages of anger that lead to a crisis, the law and its implications for staff, reporting, recording. Additionally, there is practical instruction on the physical techniques that may be used in your setting, such as escorting and guiding a pupil and breaking up fights safely.
