Building Safety, Understanding, and Confidence in SEND Settings
SEND environments require deeply personalised approaches. Timian’s BILD Act Certified training supports staff working across Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), providing the practical tools needed to respond calmly, ethically, and effectively.
Tailored Training for Complex Needs
Behaviour in SEND settings can look very different. Pupils may have neurodevelopmental conditions, trauma histories, or communication difficulties that influence how they interact with the world around them.
Our training equips staff to work confidently within this complexity, using positive behaviour management, trauma-informed care, and de-escalation techniques that reflect the unique challenges of SEND provision.
Our approach reflects the reality of SEND education:
Behaviour is often communication, not aggression, opposition or ‘disruption’
Environments must balance safety, dignity and autonomy, even under pressure
Staff need clear, consistent, non-restrictive tools they can apply in real time
Pupils may require highly individualised response strategies, particularly in moments of distress
Reduce Incidents, Support Pupils.
Timian’s training helps SEND teams:
- Understand and recognise the stages of escalation in the context of autism, SEMH and complex needs
- Use ethical, non-restrictive strategies to reduce reliance on physical interventions
- Foster trusting, secure relationships through positive communication and connection
- Develop proactive support plans that minimise triggers and promote self-regulation
- Create safer, calmer environments where pupils can learn, and staff feel confident
