What Your Team Will Walk Away With
Not just knowledge: practical skills, ongoing resources, and the confidence to use them the next morning.
Understand the 'Why' Behind Behaviour
Your team will see behaviour through a trauma-informed lens, understanding ACEs, attachment, and shame so they can respond to the cause, not just the symptom.
De-escalate with Confidence
Practical, classroom-specific de-escalation techniques including help scripts, the CALM reflections model, and Perry's 3 R's (Regulate, Relate, Reason).
Build a Therapeutic Culture
A shared language for talking about behaviour across your school, replacing punitive reactions with empathetic, child-centred responses rooted in felt safety and PACE.
Respond Safely When It Matters
Low-level guiding, escorting, and physical intervention techniques using the +ProActive Building Blocks© methodology, our proprietary system proven to increase skill retention.
Keep the Thinking Brain Online
Strategies rooted in Perry's 3 R's that help dysregulated children return to a state where learning is possible. Not just compliance, but genuine engagement.
Create Behaviour Plans That Work
Learn how to include children and young people in behaviour planning using the +ProActive Attachment in the Classroom Toolkit for IEPs.
Access the Online Academy
Every delegate receives access to the +ProActive Approaches online Academy: videos, articles, template forms, policies, and ongoing CPD resources.
Policy Self-Audit Tool
A practical Behaviour Support Policy Self-Audit Tool with example content, helping your school review and strengthen its existing policies.
Free Ongoing Webinars
Regular online webinars for continued professional development at no extra cost, keeping your team's knowledge current and connected to the latest research.
Imagine Shouting Instructions Through a Locked Door
That is what traditional behaviour management feels like for a child whose stress response has taken over. Their thinking brain is offline. No amount of reasoning, consequences, or raised voices will reach them, because the door is locked from the inside.
This course gives your staff the key. Not a louder voice, but an understanding of what locked that door in the first place, and the practical techniques to help the child open it themselves.
When your team understands the neuroscience behind behaviour (trauma, attachment, shame, and their impact on brain architecture) everything changes. The behaviour stops being a problem to manage and becomes a signal to understand.
Indicative Course Content
The What, the Why, the How, and safe physical intervention. All content is tailored via your Training Needs Analysis.
The content above is indicative. We complete a full behavioural audit with you before the course to ensure we teach the correct level of strategies and techniques for your setting, whether primary, secondary, or specialist. Your TNA shapes every session.
