Positive Handling Strategies
Positive handling strategies should increase confidence, improve teamwork and give you the opportunity to enhance your level of practice with your colleagues. Here is what one class teacher said after a recent course with our team:
“The course was very useful and because of it, I feel more confident to deal with situations that may arise. The trainer made it clear that restraint should always be a last resort and should be appropriate to the situation. The strategies shown were clearly modelled and being able to practise them with colleagues was very helpful.”
