Children

Trauma Informed Positive Approaches to Behaviours of Concern

Children’s Services

Objective

Our primary objective is to enable staff to help children recover from past trauma and improve their immediate and long-term wellbeing, happiness, and quality of life outcomes.

“When children feel safe and well and are being supported by people who are skilled in making connections with them, they are much less likely to express their needs and emotions through behaviours of concern.”

Underpinning theory base

The application of trauma and Positive Behaviour Support informed approaches to behaviours of concern. This provides an explicit evidenced based framework to support and guide staff practice, one which evidence suggests is more likely to be successful.

Training

Our training is designed to provide your staff with the knowledge and skills to enable them to help children recover from childhood trauma and go on to experience greater wellbeing and happiness in their lives. The corollary to this is reductions in behaviours of concern. Staff will feel confident in implementing proactive preventative and proactive developmental strategies as well as a range of evidence-based de-escalation strategies. A suite of restrictive physical restraint and breakaway techniques may also be taught.

Values

Our courses are underpinned by a firm value base anchored to The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The values associated with Individualised Child Centred Planning and Action ensure the focus is on steering organisations away from reactive cultures of care towards proactive cultures. A commitment to reducing restrictive practices is a core value. We apply strict adherence to the principles of least restriction and social validity in consideration of all strategies, both proactive and reactive.
