The use of reasonable force to control and restrain pupils is a growing issue in schools as they continually strive to provide inclusive learning enviroments. Circular 10/98 and more recent joint guidance produced by the DfES and DOH has increased the anxiety of staff when faced with young people who present challenging behaviours. This one day course attempts to reduce this anxiety and provide schools with practical strategies to ensure a stratgic approach, based on effective policy and practice which will help you to protect both staff and pupils.
