Behaviour Clinic
If you’re navigating behaviour challenges in your setting, our Behaviour Clinic offers a space to talk things through with behaviour experts. Whatever the challenge, low-level disruption, refusal or more serious incidents, bring what is on your mind.
The Behaviour Clinic is a short, focused conversation with one of our behaviour specialists. Sessions are kept small, either one-to-one or with one other delegate, so you have time to explore your context in a meaningful way.
HOSTED BY:
What to expect
This is a practical, supportive discussion designed around your needs. You’re encouraged to come with a specific question, challenge or scenario.
You might want to explore:
- Low-level disruption or disengagement
- Refusal and persistent behaviours
- Verbal or physically aggressive incidents
- Supporting individual students
- Creating consistency across staff teams
Who it’s for
The clinic is open to all members of school staff, including senior leaders, SENCOs and classroom teachers. We believe behaviour is part of everyone’s role, so this space is for you.
You’ll leave with practical ideas, next steps and guidance you can begin applying in your setting.
