Maximising Impact

Breaking Up Fights™ Training is available as a standalone programme; however, it is far more impactful when implemented as a part of a wider strategic project.

Breaking Up Fights™ Training is powerful to manage incidents of conflict with CPI Behaviour Health Check being used to bookend the project for impact assessment and our Classroom Culture Training to embed actionable behaviour management strategies that support a positive and relational approach.
