• What changes in schools are currently being achieved in response to toxic behaviours
• How do regional and rural settings, and parent engagement, alter what works?
• What simple steps can I take in my school to address staff harassment?

If anyone is interested in any of the following, please let me know what would be helpful and what dates would suit – happy to work Saturdays! I will only be able to deliver training if there are sufficient numbers to make this viable and will need to know by the end of the year so I can plan.

• Update on Circle Solutions and the ASPIRE principles - the third  edition of Circle Solutions for Student Wellbeing is currently in production
• Intro to Circle Solutions (min 10, max 25) and Circle Solutions Trainer (min 4, max 10`) Will do this in three days together if there is enough interest.
• A day on the Primary or Secondary Behaviour Cookbook – both published this year – recipes for nearly all the behaviours you are likely to come across in your school with a strong focus on the quality of the 'oven' - the school climate in which the success of any strategy depends
