L2 Positive Handling Course
(1 Day Course)
Venue: Junction 32 of M62
Navigation House,
Castleford
West Yorkshire,
WF10 5HX
£75 per delegate or £125 for 2 participants from the same school
This one course is suitable for anyone working with, or coming into contact with, children who may present challenging behaviour and who may be required to use positive handling as part of their role.
E.g. Headteachers, Teacher, Teaching Assistant, Learning Mentor, Behaviour Mentor, Lunchtime Supervisor
This comprehensive training focuses on developing a clear understanding of the functions of behaviour, Positive Behaviour Support and understanding the biology behind the behaviour so that the need to use restrictive force is greatly reduced. Participants will learn how they can reduce risks by diffusing aggression and, if necessary, how to control potentially violent situations through the use of medically risk assessed holds whilst maintaining the dignity and safety of themselves and the children involved.
By the end of the course, participants will:
- Further build on their confidence when dealing with behaviours that challenge, aggression and violence;
- Identify functions and causes of behaviour;
- Explore the neurophysiology behind presenting behaviours;
- Reflect on emotional regulation and dysregulation;
- Clarify the significance of communication;
- Understand the aggression or arousal curve and the implications for de-escalation
- Have a basic understanding of current legislation relating to issues that can arise when dealing with aggression and violence in school environments;
- Understand the DfE Guidance on 'The Use of Reasonable Force,' including the recommendations of techniques NOT to be used;
- Evaluate the risks associated with physical restraint and how to minimise those risks;
- Risk assess their own safety when dealing with a potentially aggressive or violent child;
- Learn how to apply non-harmful methods of control e.g. prompting, escorting/guiding, holding;
- Learn and practise memorable, low level least intrusive positive handling techniques;
- Demonstrate and explain how to gradually de-escalate and relax restraint to allow the person being restrained to regain self-control;
- Understand the requirements for recording any restrictive use of force and how to use this information to inform behaviour risk assessments;
- Recognise the need to ‘repair and rebuild’ relationships, following the use of any restrictive force
This is a one-day course and on completion, delegates receive a Level 2 Certificate in Positive Handling.
