For individuals booking a single personal space on this course
Designed for mainstream schools, this two-day course combines online and in-person sessions, balancing preventative theory with the safe and effective use of non-restrictive and limited restrictive interventions based on audited need. In response to Every Child Achieving and Thriving and DfE guidance on restrictive interventions, including the use of reasonable force, the course supports senior leaders to manage exceptional short-term needs. It provides theoretical understanding and practical strategies typically associated with special school provision. Participants will explore approaches that promote safe, proportionate responses while strengthening inclusive practice. The programme enables leaders to develop systems and considerations required to systematically reduce and, where possible, eliminate the use of restrictive interventions. For schools and settings with tutors already trained in Therapeutic Thinking Relational Practices.
