When thinking about behaviour support across our services and settings, we know that to reduce risk, mitigate or avoid crisis, and offer the best support to individuals, de-escalation is often the most effective option.
It can be helpful to think of de-escalation as a toolkit of positive, proactive measures that are designed to defuse escalating situations, and help individuals re-regulate and calm themselves down.
Our ‘5 Strategies for Meaningful De-Escalation’ poster provides simple, practical tips for supporting de-escalation, and can be displayed in staff rooms or other communal areas to remind staff teams of strategies to try.
This is a preview. The full resource is included in Team Teach products. Unlock it with any of the available products.
