A Quiet Place

A Quiet Place is a rigorously monitored and evaluated programme with an evidence base showing change in children’s behaviour that is extremely effective. (Educational and Child Psychology Vol.22 No. 3)

It is inclusive and holistic in it’s approach with techniques both traditional and complimentary that support all involved, the child, parent, and staff in a partnership for change, a personal development programme that uses an educational model that is non-stigmatised and based in the present. As a personal development programme it is applicable in all areas and including working in Children’s Homes with Looked After Children as well as with young adults with severe learning difficulties.

A short movie on "Zoe's" impressions of A Quiet Place.

Children are referred by teachers, parents and after a while through self referral for introvert or extrovert behaviour. The facilitator liaises with parents and teacher and with full participation from the child in order to identify an outcome based on Emotional well being. In addition to providing individual case support, the whole school benefits from a rolling programme of small group relaxation or story in the room and Breathing Space (Circle Time) training within the classroom.
