Creating safe, supportive social care environments with Timian Learning & Development
Our trauma-informed training, built on core principles of de-escalation and crisis prevention, empowers care staff to create safe spaces where everyone feels secure and respected. This approach benefits a wide range of social care organisations, from day services to residential care facilities.
BILD Act certified training for organisations in social care
The social care sector is dynamic, with every day presenting unique challenges. Staff need to be adaptable and possess a diverse toolkit of techniques to respond effectively to any situation or individual they encounter.
Timian’s unique approach recognises the diverse needs within social care. We utilise a train-the-trainer model, combining our expertise in de-escalation with your trainer’s in-depth understanding of your specific service and client group. This ensures our training seamlessly integrates with your existing practices, fostering a safer and healthier work environment.
Preventative safety measures through communication and respect
Timian’s train-the-trainer model empowers you to cultivate a culture of safety for staff, clients, and their families. Our training equips professionals with the confidence to prevent situations from escalating through:
- Identifying stress triggers and their consequences
- Understanding behaviour as a form of communication
- Developing effective perception-checking skills
- Employing the five core conflict resolution styles
- Distinguishing between different trauma types.
- Implementing positive behaviour support strategies

The Timian Learning & Development difference
Our programmes equip staff with the skills to build and maintain positive relationships, prioritising emotional, psychological, and physical safety for everyone. We emphasise building rapport, managing emotions, de-escalating incidents effectively, and responding with dignity and respect.
Our programmes include dedicated modules on the fundamentals of crisis prevention and de-escalation. These modules equip your staff with the skills and techniques to create safe environments and foster positive relationships.
While prevention is ideal, we also recognise the importance of equipping teams to manage situations that may escalate. With our training, your staff will gain the skills to:
- Address emotions, stress triggers, and potentially volatile situations effectively
- Communicate through problem-solving techniques and navigate conflict cycles
- De-escalate situations using verbal intervention strategies
