For Primary Schools

We have 2 subsidised, upcoming, online training courses for teachers/School staff.

De-escalating challenging behaviour : Tue 4th June 4-5pm

This session offers a simple technique you can use when someone comes to you with a serious accusation of challenging behaviour such as bullying, harassment, racial abuse, etc. AND the person’s emotions are very elevated.

When people feel threatened by others’ behaviours it can cause conflict. However, what might feel ‘threatening’ or ‘insulting’ or ‘racist’ to one person might not be for another. In school, you may often find yourself navigating different perceptions of an event, some of which could be serious and require further action. How can you find out what has happened, whether an event is serious (falling under school policy on bullying or equality, for example) AND bring down the intensity of people’s emotions such that they feel heard and safe?

The power of conflict – From conflict to communication: Tues 2nd July 4-5pm

Conflicts are inevitable in school and in life in general. But can they ever be a good thing? In this workshop we will explore the value of conflicts within schools and how to resolve them in a way that makes, as opposed to breaks, relationships (transforming classroom challenges into learning opportunities). The price of this training session is subsidised by CRESST (from charitable trusts and donations).

For School Governors

Staff CPD & Training

Using our many years’ experience in educational and youth settings, and drawing on the skills and expertise of our trainers, we offer training programmes to assist senior leaders, teachers, teaching assistants, lunchtime supervisors, governors, parents and carers to use a wide range of conflict resolution skills and techniques. Our experience tells us how important it is for adults to model the language and behaviour they expect young people to learn and use.

Our programmes

All our training programmes are designed not only to enable adults to become familiar with conflict resolution approaches, but also to share activities, games and content that can be used with young people. Our programmes can run at many levels. There are awareness workshops to familiarise staff with what the young people are taught and how schemes work, particularly with the aim of ensuring the adults are confident in the young people’s and encourage others to seek support. Where possible we would engage young people in some of the training delivery.

Other programmes are designed to enable staff to learn new skills and techniques for handling difficult conversations. We run briefing sessions for governors, workshops for parents, and ‘train the trainer’ days for staff leading on these programmes in school. CRESST is able to provide bespoke workshops on learning mediation skills and one-to-one coaching.

“I have gained a much greater understanding of mediation/conflict coaching  that I can now introduce on a daily basis”. Participant, Sheffield Hallam University.
