Mike

Team Teach Trainer

I have worked at Gibside School for over 7 years during which time I have worked in both the main body and specialist Autism specific classes. I am a certified Team Teach trainer with 3 years of experience delivering accredited behaviour support courses and I am passionate about effective holistic behaviour support that focuses on reducing the need for restraint and minimising risk to service users and staff.

I have most recently developed my role by designing CPD packages for de-escalation of challenging behaviours, creating effective Behaviour Support Plans and personal safety courses for staff working in low and medium risk settings.
