Hear feedback from some of our course attendees:

"Team Teach is a highly effective, professional course. Through well delivered sessions, our staff were able to discover key steps in supporting our students that will help them to remain calm. We have seen a positive impact on the way our staff not only monitor situations of crisis, but how they work on building strategies to prevent this stage."

Tim Hilton, Deputy Principal, Warringa Park School, VIC

"I would recommend this course to others as it will assist them during crisis, help them to recognise escalating behaviours, triggers, train them on how to interact, scripts, universal language, safety, legislation and responsibilities. I love that the WA Education Department has recognised and approved Team Teach as their preferred supplier of behaviour support training."

Nicole Coady, Special Education Teacher, WA

Intervention approaches:

Behaviour Training - Level One
You’ll learn a wide range of effective de-escalation strategies to implement in your setting. You’ll also learn about the legal, policy and paperwork requirements relevant to your setting. You can also include a range of personal safety responses (if required by your setting), and the importance of listening and learning after difficult incidents.


Behaviour Training - Level Two
In addition to the core elements covered on a Level One course you’ll learn how to execute simple and safe physical interventions and personal safety techniques including guiding, escorting and holding-skills (restraint techniques) in standing, sitting and kneeling positions safely, appropriate for your service setting needs, which focus on maximum care, minimum force.

We can come to your organisation for bespoke training just for you or you can join a "public" course for multiple schools/settings at many different locations across Australia and New Zealand.
