Behaviour & Attendance
Positive Handling
Positive Handling emphasises a spectrum of gradual and graded responses to reduce the probability of challenging behaviour escalating towards violence.
The emphasis is always on preventative measures, diffusion and de-escalation, which should make up more than 95% of responses.
Where these approaches are insufficient, there are risk-reduced physical interventions which form part of a holistic response.
Research has shown that staff trained in physical techniques as part of a holistic approach, are better at de-escalation than those trained in de-escalation skills alone.

Leading Attendance
Since the pandemic absence and persistent absence has increased significantly.
The DofE has issued it's second revision to the statutory guidance 'Working together to improve attendance,' making clear that attendance is everyone's responsibility.
This training will equip schools with the information they need to fulfil the guidance and will include exploring pertaining sections within the Ofsted Inspection Handbook.
