Handling challenging situations calmly and effectively is essential, especially in educational settings where disruptive behaviour can impact everyone’s learning experience. This approach, known as positive handling techniques, aids in managing these scenarios. With online training, learning how to de-escalate these behaviours is straightforward and can easily fit around the busy schedules of teachers or support staff, complementing existing training.
Here’s a breakdown of what our online positive handling course covers:
