ABOUT
Holly Durrant, Founder of KUE
Hello, welcome to KUE!
My journey started when I undertook work experience as a teenager which was at my local SEN school. I was immediately taken by the positivity, resilience and the joy in helping others to achieve, and so I've been working with people with disabilities ever since.
I have had the privilege to get to know and support many different people to live their lives the way they want; in teaching assistant roles, support worker roles and more recently in behaviour practitioner and training roles.
​
Alongside my work, I completed a BSc in Psychology and Social Anthropology and later a MSc in Neuroscience.
I have completed numerous train the trainer courses with BILD and the Tizard Centre.
OUR APPROACH
Knowledge, Understanding, Empower
At KUE, our ethos combines a person-centred approach with the frameworks of Positive Behaviour Support, Active Support and SPELL.
These frameworks all have quality of life as their bedrock, which is the main aim of all our training packages.
We want to give you the right knowledge so you can understand your person, help them to be safe and happy, and empower them to reach their full potential.
​
Our training packages are all values-led and promote Quality of Life
​Positive Behaviour Support
An ethical approach to supporting people who's behaviours can challenge - focusing on being proactive and preventative
​
Active Support
Initially devised with people with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD) this approach promotes participation and engagement of all aspects of life.
​
SPELL
Designed by the National Autistic Society, this course is aimed at understanding autism, reducing anxiety and responding positively to the needs of autistic people.
Amazing people deserve amazing lives
At KUE, our mission is to enable those caring for and supporting people whose behaviour may challenge, to give them the tools to support in the best way possible.
​
Whether you are just starting out or having plenty of experience behind you, our courses will help you reach that next step.
