Course Description

Introduction

It has become more common for staff to have to deal with serious incidents and occasionally use some form of physical intervention. This is an accredited course that covers 1 hour of legal guidance and expectations when dealing with serious incidents. A further 2 hours are spent on physical holding and safety when dealing with physical intervention. The overall emphasis of this session is that physical intervention is only ever used as a last resort.

This is a basic entry-level course to support physical intervention in schools and does not cover de-escalation, recording or planning. This session can also be delivered via a mixture of video learning and in-person training. The mixed session can be found under heading VB012. VB012 is more cost-effective and has increased flexibility for staff time. This session also serves as a refresher course for any staff who have undertaken any of our full physical intervention sessions (VB009 or VB011).
