Conflict Spiral Individual Mapping Tool

The Conflict Spiral is a Team Teach model that connects experiences, feelings, behaviour and reactions that lead to conflict.

While it can be used as a proactive tool to pre-empt conflict and de-escalate situations, it can also be used retrospectively, to examine an incident involving an individual. This information can then be used to determine future support.

After an incident, use this blank Conflict Spiral template to map an individual’s experience.

Things to consider:

• • What did you notice at each stage?

• • What opportunities were there to do things differently and avoid conflict?

• • How could this information inform any individual support plans and risk assessments?
