Positive Handling for Schools
Positive Handling is a system of safe holding techniques, used as a last resort when de-escalation skills have failed, where staff safely hold pupils until they can hold their own emotions, and by doing so prevent them harming themselves or others.
We will work with your team to teach De-escalation skills, Positive Behaviour Support, Managing Challenging Behaviour and how to use Positive Handling techniques. Outstanding and affordable, our training is available 7 days a week, during or after the school day, face to face and online. We teach in accordance with Department for Education guidelines. Suitable for all age groups and all group sizes.
We are BILD-ACT Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) Certified Trainers. View our certificate here
