Services

Whether delivering ‘Building Resilience Training,’ ‘Lunchtime Supervisor Training’ or working with children and staff in schools, Plan B will always begin from a starting point that has high expectations for learners’ behaviour and conduct. We will aim to apply these expectations consistently and fairly, to enable learners to become more positive, resilient to setbacks and take pride in their achievements.

Plan B will strive to work alongside schools and ensure that relationships amongst learners and staff are indicative of a positive and respectful culture.

  • The Art of De-Escalation


    A pastoral and practical approach to the prevention of incidents and behaviours that are likely to escalate from low level to aggressive or dangerous.

    Participants will focus on targeted interventions through the use of language, along with other communication techniques to deffuse, re-direct or de-escalate a range of situations.

  • New to Teaching? Planning For Behaviour

    Support for recently qualified teachers. The training considers the learning environment and aims to encourage staff to create an environment that allows the learner to focus on learning. Barriers to learning, classroom management and specific behaviours are also explored, alongside reducing the impact of challenging behaviour through effective and efficient planning and management. The focus during this session allows the participant to consider how behaviour, attitudes and personal development are the foundations of quality education.

  • TA and Support Staff Training


    Exploring challenges for those staff working with children who regularly demonstrate behaviour that has an adverse effect on themselves and those around them. Interventions such as de-escalation techniques, positive approaches and general behaviour management strategies are explored through good practice examples and useful suggestions.

  • Positive Playground Behaviour


    For children who find managing their behaviour in the playground challenging and therefore often find themselves excluded from outside play on a regular basis.Delivered to school staff in a two- hour session, training can then be delivered to the children in four one hour or eight thirty minute sessions.
    Contracting, likes and dislikes, similarities and differences, points of view and ‘getting on’ and ‘falling out’ will be explored during these sessions.

  • Is It Different For Dads?

    Often overlooked by society, these sessions allow fathers to share experiences of parenthood, relationships with their children and to explore the journey their children take through education.
    The sessions aim to give parents practical advice and will explore ideas for managing behaviour in the home. De-escalation, emotion coaching and resilience are some of the areas covered in the sessions, which will often be steered by the parents’ experiences.

  • Developing The Behaviour Policy

    A bespoke approach to the school’s particular needs. Using Government guidelines and existing Behaviour Policy as a basis for development, ‘Developing the Behaviour Policy’ reviews and updates good practice. Participants could range from members of senior staff, a working party or as a whole school package.

  • Building Resilience - Staff

    A school focused approach to helping children build and manage their resilience.The content of this session will focus on children who may illustrate difficulty in self- management of their behaviour. Particular emphasis will be placed on those children experiencing difficult conditions outside of school, which then cause certain behaviours within school.
    The content of this session combines a mixture of theory and practical explorations and is designed to compliment other resilience training offered by the service.

  • Building Resilience – Children

    This training aims to provide the children with a range of activities to equip them with strategies for building and managing their own resilience for life. It examines how children can develop their own character, including their resilience, confidence and independence, encouraging the need to keep physically and mentally fit.

  • Building Resilience – Parents

    A combination of Building Resilience for Staff and Children in content, this session develops those ideas and expands them to help parents apply the same techniques in the home, developing consistency for the children.
    This training is particularly relevant to the parents of those children who have situations in the home that influence their behaviour in school.

  • Lunchtime Supervisor Training



    The roles, responsibilities, skills and qualities of the Lunchtime Supervisor are focused upon and participants are given the opportunity to explore how good effective practice helps establish authority. The importance of clear boundaries, appropriate rewards and rules are considered, as are suitable consequences and sanctions. Supervisors are empowered to make clear expectations for the children’s behaviour that is consistent with all staff throughout the school day.

  • Key Stage Transition

    From Key Stage One to Two, Two to Three, Three to Four, Four and beyond, this training offers tailored advice for children and young people by a professional who has extensive knowledge of all aspects of school life.
    The content is tailored and age appropriate, equipping participants for their future and reducing the natural worries experienced during times of transition.
    Delivered as a 90-minute session that will leave children and staff with ongoing work that can be explored further, during their remaining time in the Key Stage.
    At the core of this training is the opportunity for learners to consider the technical, vocational and academic qualities that they possess, developing their wider interests and talents and putting these skills to use to help themselves and others. Put simply the training facilitates an ability to prepare the learners for future success in their next steps.

  • Peer Mediation Training


    The content of the sessions equips the selected children to help support desired behaviour throughout school. It places emphasis on lunch time behaviour and is particularly complimentary to Lunch Time Supervisor Training.
    Children examine the range of skills needed for such an important role and are equipped with appropriate support for issues that may arise. Skills in observation, perception, versatility, discussion and empathy are explored through a range of activities.
