This programme provides training to staff around physical de-escalation techniques to deflect, redirect or physically support a child. It also includes restrictive holds.
All techniques are delivered in-line with manual handling regulations and guidelines on how to avoid positional asphyxiation. If staff attend advanced physical skills we recommend they are first aid trained.
To make the programmes as relevant as possible, the course content is modified and delivered to cater for the specific requirements of the learners, their customer demographic and the commissioning body. Training is tailor made to suit service sector requirements as identifies through a risk assessment process. If physical intervention is necessary, we train using risk assessed techniques; these techniques have undergone a medical review.
