Physical Interventions for Special Schools
Trauma Aware positive handling training for SEND
Confidence and Competence in working with children who respond differently.
Your team will have greater insight into how to manage disregulated behaviour when it happens. You will have deeper insights into the causes of crisis behaviour, and your team will practice the right responses which defuse these situations and make them safe.
Our training covers a variety of the most common scenarios which staff in school face when they must deal with behaviour or risk, and gives straight answers to frequently asked questions.
Our experienced trainer works with your team in your timeframe, developing skill and insights which help when your children become overwhelmed and disregulated.

HI! I'M GERARD O'DEA
Director Of Training At Dynamis
Hi and thanks for visiting our website today.
In over 15 years of working with frontline staff who face difficult, distressed and dangerous behaviour, i have seen time and again how prepared staff can perform well and respond to challenging circumstances.
From teachers to nurses, teaching and care assistants to security officers in our hospitals and social workers in the community, if you deal with people every day, managing conflict becomes a necessity.
I became involved in this work because i saw the power of training and preparation in helping people to stay safe at work and to be more successful in working with their colleagues to create better outcomes.
I and my team of professional trainers now teach in over 200 training engagements every year around the uk and internationally for a wide variety of public-facing organizations just like yours.
We have sought out the best conflict management training content and the best learning methods in the world and bring them together for you and your team.
One Full Day: 9.30am to 3.30pm on a day when you can release your team…
This option gives your staff the most practice time and question/answer time with the trainers. Assimilation of the material and retention of the physical skills is optimal with this duration. Schools will usually choose this option if they have a well-identified need for training in physical interventions with particular high-risk children. For dedicated SEN, Learning Disability or EBD settings we also have a 2-day option which is recommended for higher-risk care environments.
