SEND and Inclusion

IPS training is aimed at all staff working in Primary Schools, Secondary Schools, Special Schools and Alternative Provisions. It aims to support staff in developing a consistent, effective and acceptable team approach to managing behaviour, while, crucially, maintaining positive relationships and minimising risk for all.

Module 2 – This promotes the least intrusive, most caring handling strategies and explores a continuum of passive techniques designed to keep both pupils and staff as safe as possible based on “making movement safe” rather than “overpowering”.
This module includes: Legislation and Guidance
• Reporting and Recording
• Principles Underpinning Passive Intervention
• Moments of Crisis
• Personal Space
• Following Movement
• Guiding and Escorting
• Standing, Sitting, Kneeling

We are offering this day to up to 20 staff in any of our schools who (a) wish to be upskilled in managing difficult behaviour and tricky situations, and (b) have completed Module 1 previously. This will be especially beneficial to staff working 1:1 with pupils at risk of exclusion, or any staff who have missed out on whole-school PIPs training in their settings.

This session is stand alone, may be repeated during the year. Attendees need only attend one session during the year
