High School Education
Schools lie at the heart of nearly every community, yet significant numbers of teachers experience verbal abuse, threats or even physical assault. Our award-winning training aims to support the prevention and management of workplace conflict and violent behaviours, so that staff, pupils and parents can benefit from positive and safer learning environments.
Proven experience and expertise
Schools can become extremely high pressured, stressful environments, which can cause pupils, parents or even staff to act in an irrational manner.
If poorly managed, these minor incidents can quickly escalate into aggressive and challenging behaviour, which can represent a safety risk to staff and pupils, as well as potentially damaging the reputation of your school.
Our comprehensive training aims to ensure that your organisation has effective policies and controls in place to safeguard your staff.
We believe that most conflict can be avoided or defused through positive communication skills. Alongside these proactive strategies to reduce conflict and risk, we also teach reactive strategies to safely manage and de-escalate emotive and difficult situations that arise for staff whose role carries heightened safety risks and responsibilities.
Our training also includes how best to support children with additional needs.

eLearning
Maybo's eLearning programmes utilise the latest learning technologies, realistic scenarios and interactive exercises to offer an engaging self-study learning experience.
eLearning can play a valuable role within a blended learning strategy, underpinning the knowledge and reducing staff abstraction time, or in some instances as a complete solution. It also works well for induction and refresher training.
To find out more or for volume purchases contact our team or visit our eLearning store for individual purchases.
eLearning is also known as self-directed learning. It often precedes Classroom or Virtual Classroom training to provide a foundation of knowledge in advance - this is known as a blended approach.
Classroom
Maybo designs and delivers training to meet your requirements and can deliver direct to your staff wherever you need it. We take time to understand your training needs and the unique challenges and scenarios your colleagues face, to ensure our Classroom courses are highly relevant. Learners receive superb resources and certificates with a range of accreditation and qualification options.
Classroom training can be combined with eLearning to form a blended learning strategy, underpinning the knowledge and reducing staff abstraction time.
Classroom training is delivered by a trainer at an agreed venue. It is also sometimes called face-to-face or in-person training.
Virtual Classroom
Maybo designs and delivers Virtual Classroom training to meet your requirements.
Virtual Classroom training enables staff to benefit from engaging team training with high-levels of participation delivered remotely by a skilled facilitator over video conferencing software including Zoom and MS Teams.
Virtual Classroom training can also be combined powerfully with eLearning to form a blended learning strategy, with eLearning underpinning the knowledge and reducing staff abstraction time.
Virtual Classroom training is live, participatory training delivered remotely by a trainer with video conferencing software.

Maybo offers a Train the Trainer model that equips experienced trainers to deliver Maybo's accredited training curricula within their own organisation.

Understanding Trauma and Trauma‑Informed Approaches
Trauma can affect anyone. When a person lives with trauma their brain works differently and their behaviour changes, yet we as a society often respond in unhelpful ways.
This comprehensive eLearning course seeks to bridge the gap between identifying and understanding trauma, and, responding with intelligence and compassion in a way that opens the door for recovery and a better way forward.
Designed for people providing care and support to someone affected by trauma, four engaging and informative eLearning modules explore the fundamental concepts of trauma and how it affects the minds, emotions, lives and behaviours of people who experience it and those close to them.
This comprehensive course provides a great starting point for those embarking on training and qualifications in trauma-informed approaches. It also provides a pragmatic, engaging and practical way for organisations to provide trauma-awareness training to their whole workforce.
- Psychological trauma and its potential impact.
- Individual factors that can create resilience to trauma and the possible signs and symptoms of trauma.
- Physiological and psychological effects of trauma.
- Adopting a trauma-informed approach.
