Department for Educations’s Draft Guidance on Use of Force and Restrictive Practices – opportunity to influence DfE

The Department for Education’s draft guidance on the use of reasonable force and other restrictive interventions in schools is currently out for consultation. Whilst the guidance reinstates the requirement for schools to record and report use of force, it lacks the focus on rights and prevention that Scottish schools guidance and England’s Mental Health Use of Force statutory guidance. The webinar provides an opportunity to influence the Department for Education who will be attending.
