De-Escalation Techniques with Zelpher Ferguson

De-escalation is a targeted intervention for children who are likely to escalate low-level incidents into aggressive or dangerous behaviour. It is carried out by a staff member using calm, non-threatening verbal communication, gestures and body language to diffuse, re-direct, or de-escalate a situation during which there is conflict.

Course Aim: This training gives experience of using the techniques effectively to reduce the likelihood of incidents escalating into extreme situations involving inappropriate behaviour.

Course Information: During the session we will:

• learn to recognise when children are anxious and in need of support with calming strategies
• practise techniques and strategies for de-escalation and addressing extreme situations
• learn to be aware of the situations in which children benefit from help to de-escalate their behaviour.

Delivered by: Zelpher Ferguson, a behavioural specialist.
