The Regulated School
Training
In the ever-evolving landscape of education, it's crucial for educators to continuously reflect on their beliefs and practices when responding to behaviour in the classroom. "The Regulated School" training is designed to empower educational staff to challenge traditional consequence-based philosophies and behaviour management approaches in schools.

Ross Hunter. Head Teacher Gracemount High School
Nicola McCallister worked with Gracemount High School throughout session 2023-24 and provided exceptional support and guidance to our school community. Her expertise in behaviour analysis and her compassionate approach has been invaluable in helping us create a positive and supportive learning environment for our students.
Nicola provided training and professional development for our staff on behaviour management strategies, helping us to identify and address challenging behaviours in the classroom. She made recommendations for individual behaviour plans and worked in small groups with our staff to help address particular challenges faced. Her work is evidence-based and effective and her ongoing support and guidance for our school has been invaluable. Nicola’s commitment to collaborating with our teachers and support staff has been exceptional. She has consistently communicated clearly and effectively, ensuring that everyone is working together towards the same goals. Her willingness to listen to the concerns of our teachers and to provide practical solutions has been greatly appreciated.
Nicola’s support has helped us to better understand the behaviour of our students and to create a learning environment that is positive, inclusive, and supportive. I would highly recommend her services to any school seeking behaviour support for their students.

Philip Hynan. Head Teacher St Michael’s Church of England Primary Academy
Working with Nicola has been enlightening and thought provoking in equal measures. Nicola challenged us to think about the ways in which we viewed pupil behaviour and the ways that we responded to pupil behaviour. Her passion and knowledge of trauma informed practice has helped shape our policies and practices, while informing our views as professionals. Throughout our time working with Nicola, she has been on hand to offer guidance and nothing has been too much for her. Our staff have benefitted hugely from the time Nicola has invested in them as educators, but also as people. On a personal level, she has connected with our staff, never judging, but always supporting. I would highly recommend Nicola to any setting wishing to meet the emotional needs of their pupils.

The climate in which we teach is changing. The lived experiences of our children and young people today are different from those of a decade ago. Traditional systems and interventions for supporting pupils who find school settings challenging are no longer fit for purpose. There are a worrying number of pupils who are disengaging from school, who lack the skills required to cope with everyday demands and are expressing their difficulties and anxieties outwardly through their behaviours. With a growing number of pressures on management teams, teachers, and support staff, supporting children and young people who present as dysregulated in educational settings significantly impacts on the whole school population.
This training programme adopts a whole school approach to creating systems, structures and routines that are implemented through relational, collaborative, compassionate approaches. It supports staff to develop an understanding of why pupils react and respond in the way that they do, to look through the lens of developmental stage and need, and to create positive, proactive routines that support regulation and resilience.
