Physical Skills Training (Physical Intervention & Escapes)
CALM Early Years Physical Skills Course
CALM supports Early Years providers and their staff to understand and address the root causes of behaviour that challenges using a whole-organisation, public health approach through our integrative practice model. A focus on attachment, trauma and nurture enables staff to make sense of challenging situations and to develop child-centred plans to prevent, avert and more safely manage crisis.
Engaging in the use of restrictive physical intervention or restraint is an unpleasant experience for all. It should only EVER be done where all other potential solutions and responses have been exhausted.
Training staff in self-defence techniques has often been seen as the key to personal safety. However, it can be argued that as a strategy, such free-standing programmes increase, rather than decrease risk.
