De-escalate Like a Champion!

Tuesday, October 20, 2026 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

More pupils than ever before are struggling to stay calm and regulated at school. Because of this, all staff need to know how to handle heated situations before they boil over. In this session, we will look at:

  • How to notice when a child is becoming dysregulated (before it’s too late)
  • How to understanding the anger cycle
  • How to know which strategies help to calm heated situations
  • How to recognise which behaviours adults sometimes do that can make the situation worse.

Delegates will leave this session with strategies and tips that everyone can learn to help children who feel angry, upset or overwhelmed.

This session is hosted by Emma Shackleton, SEMH and Behaviour Consultant. Emma taught in mainstream primary settings where her interest in supporting pupils with SEMH and behaviour really began. She embarked upon her career teaching permanently excluded pupils and leading on inclusion and outreach in an Inner City PRU for 15 years before founding Beacon School Support.

Audience: Teaching Assistants, Teachers, Headteachers and SENDCos
