Positive Handling Twilight Sessions

negotiated training plans can be offered over a series of staff meetings. Our twilight sessions ensure staff:

Session 2
- Recognise the risks associated with physical restraint and how to minimise those risks;
- Understand what the DFE Guidance on 'The use of Reasonable Force’ says in relation to physical restraint in schools, including recommendations of holds NOT to be used;
- Risk assess their own safety when dealing with a potentially aggressive or violent pupil;
- Differentiate between holding, escorting and restraining;
- Know, practise and evaluate legally compliant and medically assessed holds and techniques including how to relax a restraint and disengage safely;
