Team Teach is a market leading, award-winning training provider that promotes a whole setting holistic approach to behaviour management. With our head offices based in London and Australia, and a network of close to 3,500 trainers worldwide, we deliver training specific to individual settings across the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and many more international locations. 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 de-escalation and positive handling strategies are designed to support teachers, teaching assistants, support workers and carers, wanting to improve their situation management; how to reduce risk and restraint. 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 challenging behaviours. Such understanding helps develop skills in positive listening and learning, whilst discovering strategies to reduce the need for restraint or physical handling. For situations where, physical handling cannot be avoided, the Team Teach course 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.
