FAQs
Does this course cover the legal side of "Reasonable Force"?
Yes. We provide a deep dive into what is legally permitted under international best practices and common law principles, ensuring you are protected and compliant should you ever need to intervene physically.
Is this course suitable for Early Years (EYFS) staff?
Absolutely. While the de-escalation strategies apply to all ages, we specifically discuss how to adapt positive handling for younger children to ensure their safety and emotional well-being.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
Level 1 is a foundational introduction for all staff members. Level 2 is designed for senior leaders or staff working in high-need environments who require more advanced physical intervention skills and risk-assessment strategies.
