About us

What we do…

A Quiet Place was established in 1998 in response to the increasing number of exclusions from schools across the country. With a passion for early intervention and ensuring each child obtains the greatest possible benefit from the national curriculum provision, A Quiet Place has gone on to develop a number of approaches and programmes for people of all ages and abilities.

What is A Quiet Place…?

A Quiet Place is a Holistic Action Learning programme running in partnership with schools, children's homes, community centres, colleges and businesses in the achievement of unique outcomes via the development of emotional intelligence.

Within schools, A Quiet Place is scientifically proven to aid the development of children with positive self esteem, behaviour management, school transition whilst helping to develop personal choice and interaction with peers and family. The essential essence to A Quiet Place is positive learning, looking to develop future dreams and aspirations rather than drawing on past, and possibly negative, experiences.

Each environment is tailored to deliver a multisensory healing space that is individually designed, painted and furnished. Within the room, the support programmes aim to reduce immediate stress within the environment, produce more successful communication and develop relationships at every level.

What else is included…?

In addition to the dedicated support, A Quiet Place gives each client a three year licence with access to essential programmes, resources and documentation. Quality assurance is guaranteed as each member of the team acts as a consultant and supports the client through collaborative management in addition to providing:

• Annual Reports overseen by Robertson Cooper, click here for more information
  
• Training at various levels for staff
• A Quiet Place Self Management Programme which includes a Work Book, Bio Feedback Programmes and Music CDs

What are the outcomes…?

Although each experience and environment is totally unique to the individual, research shows that the intervention has an “overwhelming positive impact”, communicating and demonstrating anything from health in the work place to Every Child Matters within a school.

The key outcomes include:

• Reduced stress levels
• Positive behaviour change
• Well being leading to increased self esteem
• Non-verbal and verbal improvement in empathy, self awareness, and communication.
• Increased academic performance and motivation
