Course Overview
Behaviour in schools is often a reflection of underlying need. When pupils become distressed, overwhelmed or dysregulated, their behaviour can escalate quickly, impacting learning, safety and wellbeing.
This course provides school staff with the knowledge, confidence and practical tools to understand behaviour, prevent escalation and respond effectively in challenging situations.
