What is Positive Handling?
Positive Handling is a system of safe holding techniques, to be used as a last resort when de-escalation tactics have failed, where staff safely hold pupils until they can hold their own emotions, & by doing so prevent harm to themselves or others.
Delivered at your venue, we will work with your team to teach De-escalation skills, Manage Challenging Behaviour and how to use Positive Handling techniques.
Outstanding and affordable, our training is available 7 days a week including after school, face to face and online.
We teach in accordance with Department for Education guidelines. Suitable for nurseries, primary schools, secondary schools and universities. Small and large groups welcomed.
