1 day Introduction to Positive Behaviour Support course (Physical Restraint)
Course Outline
Training in the safe and values led application of one and two person holds.
This course is mainly practical and can be taken stand alone or, ideally supplemented with our one day Understanding and Responding to Behaviours that Challenge course held the day before.
We are fully commitment to reducing restrictive practices including physical restraint (PR). However we do recognise that there may be times when it is necessary to briefly hold a student to prevent them hurting themselves or somebody else.
We believe that physical restraint should always be a last resort, use the least minimum force necessary, for the shortest time possible. These values are clearly articulated during the training.
‘Excellent! The best feature of the course was the strong basis in values, the experience and expertise of the instructor and the care shown for children.’ Ian MacFarlane, Elementary Principal NIST, Bangkok 2023
