In-the-Moment Regulation CPD for School Staff
Practical techniques that support calm classrooms, safer de-escalation, and staff wellbeing.
ā
Schools are seeing higher levels of anxiety, emotional dysregulation and overwhelmed pupils, and staff need practical tools that actually help.
ā
Many traditional “wellbeing” approaches don’t work in the heat of the moment. Our CPD session gives staff the science-backed, real-time tools to regulate themselves and support their pupils in seconds, not hours.
ā
Our CPD session is built specifically for frontline school staff: teachers, TAs, pastoral teams, SLT and support roles.
ā
Everything is evidence-based, trauma-informed and fully practical.ā
ā
Why in-the-moment regulation matters.
ā
When the nervous system shifts into fight, flight or freeze, the brain loses access to reasoning, planning and connection. Many common strategies encourage pupils to “take a deep breath”, but deep breathing can be ineffective or even increase stress if the body is still charged with excess energy.
ā
We teach staff how to:
ā
-
Spot signs of dysregulation early
-
Use short physical resets that discharge excess energy safely
-
Apply micro-techniques that bring the body back into balance
-
Support pupils without escalating the situation further
-
Maintain their own regulation during challenging moments
These tools work during transitions, in corridors, mid-lesson, and in crisis moments where traditional guidance falls short.
