Positive Handling in Schools

Positive Handling is another aspect of schools where a new movement has arisen in response to the violent mass shootings that have been on the rise over the past few years. It is a movement that was created in hopes of improving relationships among students and teachers alike. The goal is for both parties to take responsibility for their actions and ensure that the school environment is conducive to learning and safe.

Positive Handling is a grave subject. However, knowing when and how to act in a problematic situation can differentiate between a positive outcome and a potential career-ending prosecution. Therefore, we at [School] want to show our students and staff how they can best handle different situations.

This course is designed to help staff recognise certain behaviours and react to maintain a positive, supportive environment and avoid legal consequences that could affect future job prospects.

The information discussed herein applies to all the schools for teaching students while maintaining safe and caring environments.
