Teachers want to teach. They want to use the skills and knowledge and passion they have to maximise the potential of every child in their classroom or school. Behaviour that challenges can lead to teachers feeling extraordinarily frustrated and feeling they cannot do their job.
CALM get it. We understand the frustration and the anxiety. We’ve been those teachers searching for a better way to approach things.
CALM supports schools and teachers to understand and address the root causes of behaviour that challenges using a whole-school, public health approach through our uniquely integrative model. This model enables staff to make sense of the child’s behaviour and develop individual support plans to prevent, avert and more safely manage crisis. Such approaches promote and protect the human rights of both pupils and staff.

The CALM Core Theory Course looks at the provision of safe and compassionate support for people, as well as the importance of focusing on prevention, and reduction of restrictive practices along with the role of positive behaviour support planning and practice in supporting that.
Covering the same themes and learning outcomes as the in-person course, the CALM Core Theory Online course offers a flexible learning approach. This self-directed course combines both the benefits of self-paced online learning with a collaborative, reflective online seminar.
This course emphasises a focus on attachment, trauma and nurture enabling people to make sense of the distress and dysregulation that children can experience. You will be supported to develop child-centred plans to prevent, respond to and more safely manage difficult moments and big feelings.
The Behaviour Support for Early Years Instructor Programme prepares practitioners to deliver the CALM Behaviour Suport for Early Years Course training programme as part of their work role.
Where required, as evidenced through risk assessment, data analysis and a training needs analysis approach, CALM can provide physical intervention training to teams that is effective, independently assessed, rigorously audited and quality assured.
The Physical Intervention Instructor Programme prepares practitioners to deliver the CALM Physical Intervention Course training programme as part of their work role.
Training staff in escapes can bring opportunities to increase awareness of how we can reestablish safety when we are supporting someone who is disregulated. This course is delivered within a whole organisation approach to safe practice.
The CALM IPBS course integrates core concepts from attachment, trauma and behavioural theory to build an approach that works with the whole person and not only their behaviour. It forms part of our whole organisation approach to support and connects to principles within the CALM Core Theory course.
This programme helps you to develop an internal resource that can function as a consultant able to advise, mentor and support services and contribute to the review of policy initiatives. Associates are able to personalise delivery of the CALM Theory Course – integrating key organisational policies, procedures, core values and objectives into course delivery.
The CALM Trauma Course uses a holistic lens to look at the experiences and impact of trauma upon the body, the brain and our ways of interacting in the world. The course takes a close look at the principles of trauma informed practice, the understanding of self-regulation and co- regulation, and the impact of relationships on thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
In the aftermath of difficult events, organisations have duties to the people they support, their staff and regulators. Debriefing can play a significant role in meeting such duties, supporting staff, promoting reflection and accountability, maximising learning, reducing the likelihood of further incidents and ultimately improving the service.
CALM’s approach to personal safety focuses on the need for proactive rather than reactive action. We explore issues such as risk assessment, positive communication skills, de-escalation and learning from critical incidents as well as integrating the broader CALM approach.
This course provides participants with the opportunity to explore the causes of self- injurious and suicidal behaviour. There will be opportunities to discuss and explore the reasons why people may adopt such behaviours, the potential functions of the behaviour and its relationship to trauma.
