POSITIVE HANDLING IN SCHOOLS ONLINE COURSE

Just as conflict can exist in a place of work between co-workers, there also exists the potential for conflict and aggression in a school environment between pupils and teachers.
This online course will begin by looking at some examples and statistics which highlight the seriousness and extent of aggressive pupil behaviour. It will then go on to explain how you can identify the stages of aggression, and provide some tips on how you could de-escalate a pupil before things get out of hand and they lash out. The course also looks at where the law stands on this subject, including government advice and guidance, along with best practice theory if you ever do need to restrain a pupil.
There are multiple choice questions at the end of each unit. Those who successfully achieve the minimum mark required to pass these assessments are rewarded with a printable certificate.
An e-learning course is ideal for those who cannot get time away from the workplace and do not require a tailored course which deals with specific risks. If you do, then an open course or bespoke/in-house course will be much more suitable for your requirements.
