Safe Touch
Positive handling techniques for educators in frequent physical contact with students.

This training is specifically designed for international school staff who frequently engage in physical interaction​ with students as part of their role.
​
There are two different options for the course. It is recommended that staff are grouped by their specific area of teaching, as the course is tailored with appropriate content:
1. Safe Touch and Positive Handling- Group 1: Specialist Staff (PE, Music, Drama)
or
2. Safe Touch and Positive Handling- Group 2: Classroom and Early Years Staff
​
This training provides essential guidance for school staff on professional, safe, and appropriate physical contact with students.
