With a network of close to 3000 trainers worldwide, we deliver training specific to individual settings across Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Europe and many more international locations. Our head offices are based Brisbane and London. Established in 1997, Team Teach is an ICM (Institute of Conflict Management) accredited behaviour support training programme that teaches positive handling strategies to both manage and respond to challenging behaviours. Our bespoke training strategies are designed to staff in education, disability, aged care and health settings, wanting to improve their situation management; how to reduce risk and restrictive practices. By increasing staff confidence and competence, we aim to support teaching, learning and caring, whilst promoting and protecting positive relationships. Team Teach also provides insight on how to recognise and understand the reasons behind behaviours of concern. Such understanding helps develop skills in positive listening and learning, whilst discovering strategies to reduce the need for restraint or other restrictive practices. For situations where, a physical restrictive practice cannot be avoided, Team Teach courses also demonstrates how to use minimum force for the shortest time, how to prevent injury, pain and distress, and how to maintain dignity for all parties. Seeking to maintain and restore positive relationships is one of the central key messages of a Team Teach course.
