Positive Handling: Creating Safer Educational Environments

Educators face increasingly complex behavioural challenges that require both compassion and competence. At Thrive Education Group, we are committed to ensuring school staff are equipped with the confidence and skills to manage challenging situations safely, legally, and effectively.

To provide the most focused and expert-led training in this critical area, we have partnered with our specialist training company, TeachPlus. All our Positive Handling courses are now delivered through TeachPlus to provide an even more in-depth and specialised experience.

Expert-Led Training by TeachPlus

TeachPlus delivers a comprehensive, evidence-based program—called Positive Intervention—that is fully aligned with the latest Department for Education guidance and the Restraint Reduction Network standards. The training moves beyond simple physical techniques, focusing on a holistic approach that prioritises prevention and de-escalation to create a positive and safe school culture.

The course provides your staff with:

• A thorough understanding of the legal framework surrounding Positive Handling.

• Proven de-escalation strategies to prevent incidents before they occur.

• Safe and appropriate physical intervention techniques for use as a last resort.
