Programme

The programme will include:

• 'safe': what it means for everyone
• safe practice in school
• how/why do confrontational situations develop?
• guidelines for dealing with 'tricky' situations
• implementing the guidelines, using practical real examples.

Participants will have the opportunity to bring their own situations and ask 'what if...' as long as time permits.

Please note that this is NOT a 'restraint' course. These must be accredited and are available on a school-based training basis.

We aim to put finalised course programmes on the website two weeks ahead of the course date.
