Safe Positive Handling
“It was very useful to understand more about the legislation around when teachers can use techniques to keep children safe. This is the main reason some staff do not wish to use handling techniques for fear of reprimand afterwards. Practicing techniques was very useful and gave me the confidence to use them back in the classroom setting.”
Deputy Head Teacher – Warwick – July 2016
