All our staff will be trained to use physical intervention, using the “PRICE” system, which stands for “Protecting Rights in a Caring Environment”. But physical intervention will only ever be used as the last resort, and we do all we can to prevent it being necessary. 

The only circumstances in which we will restrain are in order to keep people safe, to prevent injury to the pupil concerned, to prevent injury to others, to prevent significant damage to or destruction of property, and to prevent significant disruption to the learning of others. In these circumstances we will use physical intervention; but we will do it in as caring, gentle and nurturing way as is possible. 

Our full Physical Intervention Policy is available via the Policies page of this website.
