The Defuse & De-escalation Programme

The Defuse & De-Escalation Programme provide foster carers with the tools they need to be able to effectively defuse potentially volatile situations with the children and young people they are caring for.

Hosted by Andy Privett from Streetwise 365, foster carers will learn how to deal effectively and appropriately with young people who are presenting aggressive and confrontational behaviour, skills and strategies for dealing with challenging and unpredictable situations, and how to build positive and constructive relationships with the young people they are supporting.
