Does your team Communicate Clearly About Behaviour?

When things go wrong, staff often say "there was an atmosphere" or "you could just tell he was upset". When trying to make plans, these vague statements don't help.

"Being behavioural" is about focusing on what is seen, heard and measurable - rather than what the staff member "felt" or assumed about the situation. It's about actionable data, not guesswork. 

Your team can spot the small, critical details that outside consultants might miss - if they’re trained to approach their role with a data-driven mindset

When staff aren't clear about what they see, it is likely that they don't know how to work behaviourally

Customer's Experiences

wHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE D8 EXPERIENCE

"I do not think “course” does D.ESCAL8 justice. I would use the term “experience”.

It is an experience that helps shape staff alignment with the right values, the right understanding, and the right practices; whilst developing awareness and empathy of self and others."

Phil Morris - Charity CEO

"Having worked as an Educational Psychologist for 10 years I thought I had a good knowledge and understanding of positive behaviour management and reinforcement theory, however, this course challenged my beliefs and those of my colleagues. ​[...] The impact measured against cost is well worth it."

Rhiannon Stephens-Davies - Head Teacher & Educational Psychologist

"I found the training from De-escalate unique from anything else I have done. It takes a unique perspective, which will definitely change my approach in how I support service users.

Really enjoyed it all. Thanks again"

Development Worker

"The training is very informative and challenges expectations about challenging behaviour. It encourages it's participants to think in a more person centred way than they may be used to from other training."

Board Certified Behaviour Analyst

"Feedback from staff is that Des’s training has made a significant difference to the way they work, more so than any other training they have received."

PBS Senior Manager

"This course was an eye opener. It tested me, put me out of my comfort zone and challenged long standing beliefs about the care I provide for the better. I cannot recommend this course nor its trainers enough."

Support Worker

"I personally have been receiving De escalate training from Des for 8 years, and it has radically changed how I work with people, behaviours, and my own family."

Manager

"I feel that this training highlights the complexities of behaviour and helps people to develop a better understanding for the people they are caring for. I would definitely recommend De-escalate to others in the future."

do your team focus on maintaining control or building a relationship?

When a supported individual is uncomfortable with the demands placed upon them, this discomfort may be released unexpectedly at a later time.

When this happens, staff have a tendency to say, "It happens for no apparent reason."


​This is why systems based on control don't work. They make behaviour less manageable and strain the carer/cared for relationship. 

Staff who go through our training understand their influence on the people they support, and can therefore ensure that influence is a positive one.
