Positive handling in schools revolves around knowing when to step in and use appropriate force to restrain and prevent an aggressive pupil from harming another student, member of staff, or yourself. Knowing when and how to act can be the difference between a positive outcome and a potentially career ending prosecution.
We’ll start by examining current statistics which will highlight the extent and seriousness of aggressive pupil behavior. You’ll learn to identify the stages of aggression and how to de-escalate a pupil before they act physically, and where the law stands on the subject. Finally, we’ll look at best practice in theory, in case you ever must restrain a pupil.
This course is recommended for anyone that works in a school environment, including back office staff.
