Course Description
Introduction
This is an accredited 1-day programme which comprehensively covers all aspects of dealing with serious incidents in schools. The training is designed to support staff members in dealing with low-level behaviour through to high-risk behaviour. Strategies and safe holding techniques are displayed to support safety for all involved.
The programme is delivered in 4 modules – The Law, De-escalation, Physical Holding and Recording, Reflection and Planning. All physical techniques are independently risk assessed by Dr Tony Bleetman, who is one of the government's leading advisors on avoiding injury resulting from physical intervention.
Accreditation lasts for 2 years from the date of your physical session.
This session can also be delivered via a mixture of video learning and in-person training. The mixed session can be found under heading VB011. VB011 is more cost-effective and has increased flexibility for staff time.
