Training That Works in
Real School Environments

Schools are under increasing pressure to ensure staff are trained, confident, and working within current guidance when responding to behaviours that challenge.

Our training is designed specifically for school environments, with a strong focus on SEN, additional needs, and complex behaviours.

We deliver practical, structured training that supports staff to de-escalate effectively, reduce incidents, and respond safely where intervention is required.

All training is delivered at your setting and tailored to your pupils and staff.

Aligned to 2026 Guidance

Our training aligns to the latest Department for Education guidance on the Use of Reasonable Force in Schools (2026 update), including restrictive interventions and restrictive practice.

We support schools to understand when intervention is justified, apply proportionate responses, and demonstrate compliance.

Positive Handling &
De-escalation Training

Practical training for staff working with pupils who present behaviours that challenge, including those with SEN.

Focus includes de-escalation, triggers, safe responses, and reducing risk.

What Our Client’s Say

I have attended a St John’s first aid course previously but Enhance was far better. Couldn’t fault it, lots of practical to boost confidence and a jolly good laugh which is a far better environment to learn in. Thank you Barry and Glen!

Delegate at an Open Access Paediatric Course

I really enjoyed the course. The trainer was fantastic and very understanding to those whose second language was English.

New Cross & Deptford Families First

Informative , fun and straight to the point training.

Ninian Park Primary School

I have used Enhance Services for the past 12 years or so and have always received very good service from the team.

Very helpful and knowledgeable trainer, explained everything clearly and was very patient. We will definitely book again in the next 12 months.

Kathryn – Lead for Professional Development & DSL
From the first minute, every second of the course made me think how relevant the discussions that were based around ‘NOT’ using positive handling are to ensuring we do our best to support every child. The development of our ‘Toolbox’, the principles and the stories around the training have been superb
