You need a team: :: Safe Positive Handling requires team tactics ::

This post is about you need a team. In this rough-cut video-clip from a recent training course, our Director of Training expert witness Gerard O’Dea explains why we don’t recommend that staff carry out safe positive handling restraint interventions (defined as immobilising a child) by themselves.   There are several reasons why the proper assistance should be sought, to ensure that any action taken is both safe and successful.

This guide on you need a team is part of our ongoing work with schools and academies.
