Iโve completed the ๐๐ฃ๐โ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ โ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐น๐โ course on 247 skill UK, and have been awarded a certificate! ๐ Over nine intensive modules, Iโve deepened my understanding of:
The Aggression Curve: Recognizing Early Warning Signs Before Behaviours Escalate.
The SCARF Model: Leveraging Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, and Fairness to deโescalate tension.
Government Advice & Guidance: Aligning interventions with the latest statutory frameworks and policy directives.
Duty of Care & Legal Boundaries: Knowing precisely when and how restraint is lawfulโand when it isnโt.
Physical Intervention & Restraint Techniques: Bestโpractice methods to keep pupils and staff safe, grounded in both theory and realโworld case studies.
Screening, Searching & Confiscation: Balancing safety with respect for studentsโ rights.
This course didnโt just reinforce established protocolsโit challenged me to reflect on traditional approaches and blend them with forwardโlooking strategies for traumaโinformed practice. Iโm already integrating these insights into my work with schools, ensuring every decision prioritizes dignity, safety, and learning.
A heartfelt thank you to Haroun Gbenga Oyero - Otunba for believing in me and making this opportunity possible. Your support continues to drive my commitment to excellence in safeguarding.
Iโd love to hear: which deโescalation techniques or legal insights have you found most impactful in your practice? Letโs share experiences and raise the bar for safe, supportive schools everywhere.
