CPD & Training Courses

Are you feeling worn down by a challenging class or an individual pupil whose behaviour feels impossible to manage?

You’re not alone — and you don’t have to face it alone either.

This training has been created for teachers, teaching assistants, and any member of staff in mainstream settings who are struggling to make behaviour manageable without losing themselves in the process.

If you’re tired of quick fixes, sticker charts, and behaviourist systems that don’t get to the heart of the problem — this is the course you’ve been waiting for.

Grounded in relational, trauma-informed, and neuro-affirming practice, the Primary Inclusion Team will guide you through a practical and compassionate approach to behaviour that starts where every good plan should: with understanding.

You’ll learn how to:

Identify the functions behind behaviour and use this understanding to respond effectively
Recognise behaviour as a form of communication — especially through a SEND/SEMH lens
Plan proactive strategies for emotional regulation and de-escalation
Use the Mainstream Ready Skills Tool to assess, adapt, and strengthen your classroom practice
Review and refine your provision so every child has the best chance to succeed

By the end, you’ll have a clear route map back to calm, connection, and confidence — and maybe even rediscover the joy of teaching along the way.
