CALM is an approach to behaviour management that encourages preventative strategies to reduce restrictive practices and interventions. The approach focuses on:

• The root causes of distress presenting as behaviour that challenges
• How to use de-escalation to promote emotional and behavioural regulation during crisis
• Legal, guidance and policy frameworks 
• The principles of integrated, attachment-based and trauma-informed positive behaviour support (PBS)
• How to protect and promote the human rights of vulnerable children and adults
• The role of whole-person-centred individualised support plans
• Staff wellbeing

All our staff receive CALM training.
