The use of resonable force to control and restrain pupils is a growing issue in schools as they continually strive to provide inclusive learning enviroments. Circular 10/98 and more recent joint guidance produced by the DfES and DOH has increased the anxiety of staff when faced with young people who present challenging behaviour. This one-day course attempts to reduce this anxiety and provide schools with practical appraoch, based on effective policy and practice in order to protect both staff and pupils.
