Positive Handling in Schools

Positive Handling is a very serious subject. Knowing when and how to act in a difficult situation can be the difference between a positive outcome and a potentially career ending prosecution, maybe with an injury.

This course will start by looking at some examples and statistics which highlight the seriousness and extent of aggressive pupil behaviour. It will then go on to explain how you can identify the stages of aggression and provide some tips on how you could de-escalate a pupil before they lash out. It also looks at what the law states on this subject and finally best practice in theory if you ever do need to restrain a pupil.
