Positive Handling (Team Teach)
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 theseapproaches 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.
