WCEC19104 - Positive Handling Training for Schools

For Teachers and SNA's

This 3 hour Positive handling training course for schools is designated to assist decision making processes when dealing face to face with the possibility of physical interventions. Positive handling focuses on the positive de-escalation of the behaviour and only employs physical interventions that respect the dignity and rights of the child and are in line with best practice safegaurding policies when a child is an active danger to himself or others. The course is very practical in nature and ensures all staff are competent in dealing with and responding to difficult behaviours.
