Understanding complex and challenging behaviour and what to do about it at a whole school, class and individual level

Due to popular demand, this previously sold out programme is being re-run in the summer term. Sign up now to secure your place – places are limited and are offered on a first come first served basis.

There is a mismatch between understanding the causal factors driving the rise in complexity and how to manage behaviour in the classroom and whole school level.

Relationships and empathy alone will not support staff dealing with the levels of challenging behaviour of a growing minority, whilst meeting the needs of the majority. There is a difference between an approach based purely on strengthening relationships and one that is relational. The latter very much emphasises the consistency , predictability and importance of boundaries and rules that makes staff and young people feel safe.

This course will address all those issues:

  • build knowledge
  • motivate staff
  • develop teaching techniques
  • embed practice

A blend of theory and practice following a framework of:

Theory –

  • Understanding the underlying societal and psychological reasons for the rise in challenging behaviour

Practical –

  • Having an attitude that is effective
  • What to say/what not to say
  • What to do – strategies that work for all

Equipping school leaders/teachers with tools/knowledge to manage behaviour whilst  understanding the causal factors driving it.

Aimed at School Leaders, Pastoral Staff and anyone managing complex and challenging behaviours in the classroom.
