Train the Trainer course for schools and education

Developing confident in-house trainers in crisis prevention, de‑escalation and least‑restriction practice

A confidence‑building programme for schools and trusts who want to grow their own internal training capacity and create a consistent, trauma‑informed approach across their setting.

This four‑day course helps future trainers understand their own learning preferences and recognise the different ways colleagues take in information. Trainers explore how to create a calm, encouraging learning environment, how to engage a wide range of staff, and how to navigate challenging moments with steadiness and compassion.

What does this course cover?

  • Understanding your own learning style and how it shapes your training approach
  • Exploring how different staff learn and how to support them
  • Trauma‑informed facilitation skills
  • Building confidence in delivering Respect’s curriculum
  • Supporting colleagues through reflective practice
  • Assessing physical‑release, support and safe physical‑intervention techniques
  • Embedding person‑centred, least‑restriction practice across a school or trust
  • Creating a safe, inclusive training environment where staff feel supported, not judged

By the end of the programme, trainers feel confident, competent and ready to deliver high‑quality, Bild Act certified training that reflects the needs and values of their own school community.

Who is this level of training best suited to?

  • Multi‑Academy Trusts wanting consistent practice across multiple schools
  • SEND schools and specialist provisions
  • Alternative provision and PRUs
  • SEMH settings
  • Schools with growing teams or regular new starters
  • Settings wanting a sustainable, long‑term approach to staff development

Quality assurance and ongoing support

Trainers complete written and practical assessments to ensure they feel steady and safe in their role. There is an annual update and re‑registration requirement, along with ongoing quality‑assurance checks, so trainers always feel supported and aligned with national standards.
