All front-line staff that are managing challenging behaviour.
Our Restorative practice and behaviour management courses for care home staff could quite literally enhance the lives of vulnerable people and families and support you in maintaining the high standards expected by the regulatory bodies. Our training workshops will provide your staff with the necessary skills to better understand behaviour whilst, maintaining high expectations for young people. We deliver a restorative approach to managing behaviour which allows young people to develop academically, socially and emotionally creating a much more pleasant environment for your care home in which to work, learn and visit.
Understanding and planning for behaviour
Staff will learn about their psychological responses to challenging behaviour, the needs and wants of young people the reasons why behaviour can escalate and
how to plan for and manage it, thus empowering your staff to have high expectations for behaviour and conduct. By incorporating and understanding the use of the S.C.A.R.F model by Dr David Rock staff will be better place in identifying and avoiding trigger factors when dealing with vulnerable or challenging youngsters.

Course Benefits

through Restorative Practises.
Communication and De-escalation
Using work related practical scenarios over a 3 hour period, your staff will learn how to use simple and practical methodologies to prevent reactionary actions to
escalated behaviour and confidently manage work related conflict to a satisfactory resolution.
Using practical scenarios and group activities the course raises participants’ experience, awareness and understanding as to the subtle and more obvious causes of conflict. Through work-based simulations, staff will learn about proactive interventions to show how being proactive can reduce the risk of escalated behaviour. Simple yet very effective de-escalation techniques are interspersed into the practical sessions to give your staff skills to manage low level escalated behaviour and prevent further escalation. Communication is key to reducing the risk of escalated behaviour so this course uses practical activities to give your staff experience of the positive and negative outcomes of the different communication methods.
