Confident, Consistent Behaviour Support Training for Secondary Education
Timian’s BILD Act Certified behaviour management training gives teachers, SENCOs and support staff the tools they need to prevent escalation, reduce restrictive interventions, and support young people in ways that are developmentally appropriate and ethically grounded.
Training That Reflects the Realities of Secondary Schools
Pupils in Key Stages 3 and 4 are navigating adolescence, mental health challenges, and growing academic pressure — all of which can present as escalated or unpredictable behaviour.
Our positive behaviour management training helps schools move beyond punitive responses and build inclusive, trauma-informed practices that work in real classrooms.
Key areas of focus include:
- Understanding and responding to the stages of escalation
- De-escalation techniques tailored to adolescent behaviour
- Reducing over-reliance on restraint or exclusion
- Supporting young people with SEMH, autism, or undiagnosed needs
- Promoting consistent approaches to behaviour that challenges across departments
- Strengthening staff confidence in crisis prevention and response

Consistency in Approach. Confidence Under Pressure.
Secondary school staff often balance stretched resources, rising expectations, and limited access to specialist training or support. To make a meaningful impact, behaviour management strategies must be grounded in the lived realities of today’s classrooms.
- Recognise when behaviour signals distress, not defiance
- Develop early intervention strategies rooted in classroom practice
- Respond to crisis without escalating the situation further
- Improve teamwork and communication under pressure
- Build safer, calmer classrooms that support every learner
