Positive Behaviour Support for International Schools
Supporting international schools and school groups through JLA’s Timian Academy delivery, with a structured approach to behaviour, prevention, de-escalation and safer practice.
Safer practice starts with shared understanding.
International schools bring together staff, students and families from a wide range of cultural, educational and professional backgrounds.
Clear and consistent approaches to behaviour can help teams respond with greater confidence when situations become complex, distressed or challenging.
JLA currently supports international school settings through Timian Academy delivery: structured Positive Behaviour Management training with an emphasis on prevention, de-escalation, professional judgement and proportionate responses.
Our current international schools programme
JLA is proud to be a Timian Academy, delivering Timian’s BILD ACT-certified Positive Behaviour Management programme.
For international schools, this provides a structured route for developing staff understanding and confidence around behaviour, conflict reduction, de-escalation and safer responses when situations become more challenging.
JLA’s international schools work is currently delivered through the Timian Academy programme, keeping the offer clearly connected to the established programme framework.
Building confidence before situations escalate
Behaviour support is strongest when staff understand both what they are doing and why they are doing it.
Timian Academy delivery can help school teams develop a more consistent approach to prevention, early intervention and decision-making, while keeping dignity, safety and proportionality central to practice.

BILD ACT and the Restraint Reduction Network
Timian’s Positive Behaviour Management programme is BILD ACT certified.
BILD ACT certification sits within the wider context of the Restraint Reduction Network Training Standards.
These standards provide an established quality framework around behaviour support, restrictive practice and training governance.
They may not be a formal requirement for every international school, but they provide useful context for organisations seeking ethical, proportionate and reduction-focused practice.
BILD ACT
Timian’s Positive Behaviour Management programme carries BILD ACT certification, providing external assurance around the programme and its training framework.
RRN
The Restraint Reduction Network standards support a wider focus on prevention, reduction of restrictive practice and safer, rights-respecting approaches.
Designed around the school setting
The delivery approach depends on the setting, workforce, organisational need and the relevant Timian programme requirements.
Staff training
Structured programme delivery for staff who need a clearer, safer and more consistent approach to behaviour.
Multi-site delivery
Delivery can be discussed for school groups operating across several campuses or locations.
Implementation support
Where appropriate, JLA can discuss how programme learning can be supported within the organisation.
Refresher training
Ongoing training can help maintain knowledge, confidence and consistency over time.
Trainer pathways
Trainer or implementation pathways can be explored where required, in line with Timian’s programme requirements.
International delivery
JLA can discuss delivery with individual international schools, school groups and wider education organisations.
One programme. A more consistent approach across teams.
For organisations operating across several campuses or schools, consistency can be particularly important.
JLA can discuss Timian Academy delivery across individual schools, multi-campus settings, education groups and regional networks, with delivery planned around the size and structure of the organisation.
Where a trainer pathway is appropriate, this can also be considered within the requirements of the Timian programme.
