Free home and school tool · regulation support

When home feels overwhelmed, start with the build-up, not the label.

The Green–Amber–Red–Blue Regulation Plan helps adults notice early signs, agree a supportive response and review what made the next moment safer.

What this free resource helps you do

Separate the child from the behaviour and make one safe response easier to repeat.

The Green–Amber–Red–Blue Regulation Plan is a shared home and school regulation plan. Use it at your own pace. There is no need to make a big decision today.

  • The first observable sign that pressure is rising
  • One brief, low-demand response that helps
  • What recovery and repair look like after the peak
Keep this proportionate. General educational information, not a diagnosis or individual clinical advice. If there is immediate risk of serious harm, seek urgent appropriate help.
When you are ready for more structure

The free resource stands on its own.

If you later want a more structured route through the next stage, the Hub has optional parent learning and additional free tools. There is no pressure to decide that now.
