Safety Pod International’s Education Department officially opened its doors in 2024 following increasing awareness across special educational provision. With educational settings reporting how the introduction of Safety Pods has inspired “shifts in school cultures” “helped to prioritise de-escalation strategies” and positive observations of pupils “proactively accessing the space to self-regulate”, the extension of our education services was in high demand.

In support of DfE guidance on “providing proactive support that seeks to understand behaviour”, our education services have been adapted and tailored to prioritise pupil voice and vision, providing a creative avenue for children to play a lead role in the design of their learning environments and how it can support their emotional regulation. Our co-design methods strive to empower children and allow them to communicate in a way that is more accessible and adapted to their individual expressive needs.

Our creative design pathways include the Limitless Range which offers the option of digital theme and colour personalisation, and The Architect Project, which involves active participation in the design process and exploration of emotions.

Our education services also include a 1:1 behaviour support and consultation service as well as on site Safety Pod Training, which qualifies staff to proactively plan and implement pupil centred, preventative therapeutic strategies which fully encompass a true three tier approach in behavioural support. We invite you to join us in creating a safer, more supportive learning environment where every pupil’s voice is heard.

“The ethos behind the project aligned perfectly with what we stand for. We’re working hard to become a trauma- and attachment-informed school, and we’re in the process of opening a SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) base provision, so engaging with this project was a very easy yes!”

“It was very positive as we were able to express our emotions and feelings in a creative way. I hope that I too can make something that is worthwhile like the inventor.”

“This project is excellent in empowering children who are often disempowered by the system. It increased the children’s confidence and sense of self-worth.”

“Students have expressed a strong preference for the Safety Pods. Many report feeling more in control of their emotions and behaviours when they have access to a designated space where they can retreat, calm down, and regroup. The ability to use the Safety Pods as a proactive tool rather than a reactive measure has empowered students, giving them a sense of agency over their own emotional regulation.”
