  17. What does the research say? [1] The impact of training staff in special schools in safe handling: • In one study involving 4 schools, all schools saw a reduction in physical interventions post training. One school however witnessed more significant reduction Why? • pupils were given the opportunity for listening & learning following incidents; • the school had a dedicated staff member with overall responsibility for behaviour management; • the entire staff was trained. Source: www.team-teach.co.uk/casestudies/SEBDA_Article.pdf

  18. What does the research say? [2] Perkins & Leadbetter (2002) in an evaluative study of aggression training management in a special school found that, following training, the lack of supporting action by the school was identified as key inhibiting factor. They recommended: • the development of systems for auditing behaviour & assessing its underlying function [see next slide]; • ensuring that IEPs contain a behavioural management component • clear management support & leadership; • supporting staff through formal review of practice ( e.g. debriefing)

  19. Assessing the function of behaviour In relation to pupils with SLD functional assessment has been identified as a factor which is able to improve the efficacy of numerous treatments (Hasting & Noone, 2005)

  20. The Process for Staff Support? Module Eight: • After a crisis staff need support during the recovery period. • A member of staff usually requires:- support, space, reassurance & guidance. • As with the child, as soon as possible after the incident. • Support meeting with staff(s) involved & line manager.

  21. Objectives of the Process for Staff • Discuss what happened in a non-blaming, supportive, caring manner. • Use crisis situation to clarify underlying causes, issues and feelings. • Examine what techniques were used to de-escalate and/or physically manage the situation. • Develop a strategy for the next time the child/client begins to lose control. • All items discussed concerning professional practice issues should be documented
