This course prepares staff to support children and young people struggling with emotional regulation by understanding the biology behind behaviour. It aims to improve behaviour, strengthen relationships between students and staff, and build confidence in managing challenging behaviours, aggression, and violence.
Positive handling is taught as a last resort, focusing on safe holding techniques to prevent harm when de-escalation fails, helping pupils regain emotional control safely.
The course includes applying Positive Behaviour Support, using effective de-escalation techniques and therapeutic intervention and practising simple, low-level physical interventions tailored to workplace and service-user needs.
