Do you or your Leadership Team have to deal with behaviour issues at lunchtime? Do any of your lunchtime supervisors engage in a power struggle with pupils?

Lunchtime supervisors can have one of the most difficult roles in school. Faced with the prospect of supervising large groups of pupils can be daunting and worrying, especially if dealing with behaviours that challenge.

Under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, all employers have a legal duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of their employees. Section 2 of the Act, states it shall be the duty of every employer to  ensure so far as reasonably practicable, the health and safety and welfare of all their employees. Any violation of this requirement is a criminal offence.

Accredited training from School Positive Handling will ensure your school meets the requirements of the law. We can guide you through the possible solutions to suit your organisation.
