Why Behaviour Training in Schools Makes Things Worse (and What Actually Reduces Incidents)
27 Jan 2026
Many schools invest in behaviour training - yet still see escalation, increased incidents, staff burnout, and rising reliance on restrictive practice. This CPD video takes a calm, system-focused look at why that happens and what safer practice actually requires.
You’ll explore:
-
Why some behaviour management training increases risk (confidence without capability)
-
The “false safety” trap: policies and procedures that look good on paper but fail in real life
-
Restrictive practice in schools - what’s legal, what the law actually examines, and where schools are most exposed (foreseeability)
-
The red flags in positive handling / de-escalation training providers
-
Why prevention strategies are the strongest safeguarding tool schools have
-
Why proactive strategies (plans, rewards, interventions) often fail when they’re compliance-led
-
What responsive strategies should do when crisis becomes the norm - and why restraint is feedback on the system, not the child
-
Why condition-led behaviour support (autism, ADHD, trauma) can miss the point when it replaces curiosity about context and capability
​
The one question every school should ask before booking behaviour training: Will it reduce reliance on crisis responses over time?
