Wednesday 24th May, whole day Face-to-Face workshop 9.30am-2.30pm at the RTLB meeting room, Royal Oak Primary School.

Jo Turner and Barb Hannant will work with participants to unpack behaviours, identify patterns and isolate triggers so that effective strategies can be timed to prevent escalation of behaviours. 

 

Jo and Barb will unpack and develop escalation and de-escalation behaviour profiles with participants to reframe behaviour from the viewpoint of an adult and a young person. Participants will leave with the ability to complete escalation profiles for the adults to use to support a young person and to be able to work with the young person to complete a de-escalation profile for themselves.
