At Safe Schools Thailand, we are committed to delivering high-quality training and consultancy services that meet the needs of schools in Bangkok and beyond. The team brings extensive experience and local knowledge of the international school sector in Thailand, ensuring that our approach is both effective and ...
Our singular ambition is to promote greater inclusion. We do this by supporting schools in creating safe and orderly environments with a positive and proactive climate. This enables all students to achieve academic and social/emotional success.
We are committed to training staff in acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary to provide effective trauma informed behaviour support. This would include to students exhibiting intense or high frequency levels of dysregulated behaviours ('Challenging' behaviour).
Entry level courses assume no prior knowledge of trauma informed practice or Positive Behaviour Support and are delivered in an accessible and engaging format.
Trauma Informed Positive Behavioural Interventions and Supports (TiBPIS) is a unified theory blending trauma informed practice with school wide positive behaviour support. Through the application of a 3 tiered continuum of support TiPBIS is designed to meet the emotional and behavioural needs of all students.
Tier 1 schoolwide supports perform a proactive preventative function and meet the needs of most students. Tier 2 and 3 supports enable staff to intensify supports for students presenting more complex challenging behaviours.
These behaviours may be linked to adverse childhood experiences, a cognitive impairment or an intellectual disability. TiPBIS is applicable within both general and special education settings.
We have been working with schools in Thailand for 15 years. Schools that we partner with can be confident that their staff are utilising an explicit evidence-based framework to support and guide practice, one which research proves will be successful in delivering positive outcomes for students, staff and their families. (Horner, Sugai & Lewis 2020).
Include improved wellbeing and behaviour, reductions in restrictive practices, reductions in exclusions and administrative referrals, and enhanced academic performance. Improved staff wellbeing, job satisfaction and retention.
The Literature identifies five consistent principles which underpin trauma informed approaches.
Recognise and Respond
Provide Safe Environments
Take a Strengths Based View
Building Relationships
Promote Equality of Access
The evidence from the research is clear: behaviours of concern and implementing restrictive practices can typically be reduced with positive behaviour support (PBS) strategies!
Person-centred
Ensuring the person is always at the centre
Partnership
Working closely with the person and their supporters to shape the process
Planned
Creating a clear and positive Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) to ensure shared understandings and accountability
Positive
Focusing on being preventative, not just reactive
Purposeful
Using a Functional Assessment to know the reason for the behaviour
Process-driven
Following a process of identifying, assessing, planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating data
