Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 13-1 (May 2012) . - p.49-55 Titre : Does Team Teach training help autism outreach staff feel safer when supporting children with challenging behaviour? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Steve BROWN, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.49-55 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study explored the benefits of Team Teach training for staff working in an autism outreach team. They were asked to comment on how safe they feit when dealing with incidents of challenging behaviour before and after the training. Team Teach is a holistic approach which trains staff in three areas – de-escalation strategies, positive holding and the legal framework/guidance on the use of physical methods. Course members are also given guidance on how to complete ‘dynamic risk assessments’ which Allen (2003) recommends for staff who are exposed to challenging situations with children. The findings from this research show the importance of staff feeling safe when dealing with challenging behaviour. Their emotions and feelings are an important factor in how they choose to manage difficult situations. There is reluctance on the part of staff to engage in physical restraint for good reasons, but when it is needed, as a last resort, it is important to know how to hold safely and legally if required. The outreach team were unanimous about the benefit of the training to themselves and also reported they believed exclusions from the schools had decreased as a resuit.
