Level 3 Physical Intervention – Train the Trainers

Level 3 Physical Intervention Train the Trainer Course (5 Day Course)

Summary

An advanced training course in positive handling and use of force in schools that will allow attendees to train other staff. It is a fully health & safety compliant and legally defensible training that will safeguard your children and staff.

Duration and delivery

This is a full 5 day course. Delivery is flexible and can be covered over weekends, evenings and block-release days. Let us know your preferences and we will adapt the delivery accordingly to meet your needs.

Although the course covers some theoretical aspects, in the main it looks at the practical skills involved in de-escalation, breakaways and positive handling techniques. This is addressed through scenario-based activities.

Who should take this course?

The course is suitable for any institution that wishes to save time and money by intensively training a small number of staff, who will in turn train their colleagues.

In order to meet your health & safety requirements this course needs to be updated annually. This maintains competence and reduce ‘skills fade’. You also need to ensure your staff teaching physical restraint are updated with changes to legislation to ensure quality of provision in the teaching environment.

Candidates need to be sufficiently fit and able to take part.
