Safe Systems Trainer

As a Safe Systems Trainer I will be able to offer the following which can apply across the above named sectors.

  1. Understanding Behaviour: Staff will learn about their psychological responses to challenging behaviour, the needs and wants of the service user, the reasons why behaviour can escalate and how to plan for and manage it, thus empowering staff to have high expectations for service user’s behaviour and conduct.

Planning –

  •  Individual Behaviour plans – to help to re-regulate their behaviour.
  • ABC Charting – to share good practise, identify triggers and patterns of behaviour, provide consistency and support each other.
  • Behaviour For Learning Targets (schools only) – Differentiation in lessons which will identify behavioural needs of each individual student and a system which will evidence their progress towards achieving the high expectations of behaviour and conduct set by the school.
  1. Communication: Staff will learn how to effectively communicate with service users and realise the impact of body language, tone of voice and facial expressions on students through an understanding of Betaris Box (Behaviour Cycle)
  2. De- Escalation and re-regulation: De-escalation techniques for use in the workplace · Classroom management and dynamic risk assessing. · Forms and language of aggression · Re-regulating behaviour using individual plans and ABC charting

  1. Restorative Practice: Staff will learn the skills required to provide a restorative learning environment within the workplace. Staff and service users will take responsibility for their actions, be accountable for their behaviours, understand the impact of their behaviour on the wider community and repair the harm done. This allows closure to incidents and provides a way to move forward which supports service users and staff. It helps people to develop their character by being resilient, confident and independent and improves the mental well being of the whole community
