For LAs & MATs
The BOUNCE Approach® for LAs & MATs
A consistent framework at scale
One consistent SEMH framework across every school in your portfolio – regardless of size, phase, or existing provision.
The problem at portfolio level
A consistent SEMH framework across every school
The challenge isn’t finding good provision – it’s finding provision that works consistently across every school.
Most SEMH frameworks work well in individual schools where a skilled practitioner drives implementation. They are harder to sustain across ten schools, harder still across thirty – and almost impossible to evidence at portfolio level when every school uses different tools, language and approaches.
The BOUNCE Approach® is built for scale.
One framework
One shared language
One evidence infrastructure

The Learning Portal
The same resources in every setting
Variation between settings usually comes down to what staff can lay their hands on. When every member of staff has the same portal, organised the same way, the provision stops depending on who happens to work there.

Regulation first
Somatic and sensory tools
A dysregulated learner cannot access a conversation about behaviour. These come first, and they work at the level of the nervous system rather than the reasoning brain.
✓
Sensory circuits and movement breaks
✓
Grounding, breathing and interoception work
✓
Drumming, yoga and story massage
✓
Sand tray and tactile interventions
✓
Regulation music children can use independently
Search by need
Activities, strategies and an A-Z
Filter by pillar, by presenting need or by setting. Staff are not reading a whole course to find one idea – they go to the need and the ideas are there.
✓
Emotional regulation and co-regulation
✓
Anxiety, attachment and school avoidance
✓
Communication and executive functioning
✓
Identity, self-esteem and social skills
✓
De-escalation, plus an A-Z for quick answers
Print and go
Toolkits, printables and templates
Finished resources, not templates each setting builds out differently. Download it, print it, use it this afternoon – and send it home so the same approach carries across.
✓
Emotional Regulation and Sensory Toolkits
✓
Executive Function resources
✓
Visuals, posters and choice boards
✓
Observation, planning and review templates
✓
Send-home to support families
All of it organised the same way.
The Snapshot flags a pillar, the portal is already sorted by that pillar – in every setting, in the same way, so provision stops varying with the building.
Portfolio-wide access across every setting, family accounts included. No VAT to add. Invoicing and purchase orders welcome.
