All staff at the school are fully trained in the Team Teach approach in managing difficult behaviour.
The training is focused on applying a comprehensive range of de-escalation strategies that are aimed to diffuse difficult and challenging situations to keep everyone safe.
In some circumstances a learner’s behaviour may reach levels that compromise the health and safety of staff and other learners. In such circumstances, this would be a last resort and parents/carers will be notified. Staff follow strict guidelines when recording and reporting any positive handling situations.
As stated previously, positive handling will always be our last resort and we have a range of de-escalating tactics we implement prior to this. These include;
Giving positive directions
Using praise effectively - focus on learners making good choices, think best how to praise individuals!
Expecting compliance and act as if you will receive it.
