About Us

The Practitioner Programme

Become a BOUNCE Practitioner

Understand Children. Build Confidence. Transform Practice.

A BOUNCE Practitioner is someone who understands children through the BOUNCE Approach® and confidently translates that understanding into everyday practice.


Rather than relying on one intervention, one programme or one strategy, BOUNCE Practitioners develop a way of thinking. They learn how to recognise children’s needs, deliver meaningful support, measure progress and adapt with confidence as children grow and change.

Every course, assessment, intervention and resource within the BOUNCE Learning Portal is built around the same shared framework, giving you one connected approach from universal provision through to targeted intervention.

Your Practitioner Journey

Building Confidence, One Step at a Time

The Practitioner Programme is designed to help you develop confidence gradually. Each stage builds on the last, giving you the knowledge, practical skills and professional judgement to understand children, choose appropriate support and know what to do next.

1

Learn the BOUNCE Framework

Build the foundation.

Develop a secure understanding of the six developmental pillars that underpin the BOUNCE Approach®:

Body & Nervous System

Openness to Connection & Attachment

Understanding Sensory Differences

Navigating Emotions

Connection & Communication

Esteem & Identity

These become the lens through which you understand behaviour, relationships, learning and wellbeing.

2

Think Like a BOUNCE Practitioner®

Learn how to think, not simply what to do.

Move beyond theory and begin applying the BOUNCE Approach® in everyday practice. You’ll learn how to:

Look beneath behaviour with curiosity

Recognise patterns rather than isolated incidents

Understand children’s lived experiences

Identify barriers to learning and wellbeing

Make informed decisions with confidence

Rather than asking, “What’s the behaviour?”

You’ll begin asking, “What might this child need right now?”

3

Deliver Universal Support

Build strong foundations for every child.

Confidently deliver the BOUNCE Learning Journeys – a complete 12-month alternative PSHE curriculum that develops regulation, relationships, emotional understanding, communication and identity.

You’ll learn how to adapt delivery for different ages, developmental stages and individual needs while creating safe, engaging and meaningful learning experiences.

4

Assess, Notice and Review

Understand what is changing.

Use BOUNCE Snapshots throughout the year to:

Identify strengths

Establish meaningful baselines

Recognise emerging needs

Monitor progress over time

Evidence impact

Inform next steps

Assessment becomes a way of understanding children, not simply measuring them.

5

Choose the Right Support

Respond with confidence.

As your knowledge grows, you’ll gain access to an expanding library of specialist courses, creative interventions and practical tools. Rather than collecting activities, you’ll learn:

When to use an approach

Why it works

Who it is appropriate for

How to adapt it for the individual child

Every intervention is viewed through the BOUNCE Approach®, helping you respond with confidence rather than guesswork.

6

Deliver Targeted Intervention

Know what to do when children need more.

When universal provision isn’t enough, you’ll be ready to deliver structured interventions, including the 12-week BOUNCE Programme, using the same developmental framework you’ve built from the very beginning.

Because every programme sits within the same approach, support remains consistent, relational and child-centred.

7

Continue Growing

Keep developing your practice.

Becoming a BOUNCE Practitioner® isn’t the end of your learning – it’s the beginning. Continue building your expertise through:

Specialist CPD

New intervention training

Creative resources

Implementation guidance

Supervision and reflection

An expanding professional resource library

As the BOUNCE ecosystem grows, your knowledge, confidence and practice grow with it.
