New Guidance on Reasonable Force and Restrictive Interventions in Schools
About this episode:
A practical look at the DfE’s draft guidance on reasonable force and restrictive interventions. Sam and Sara unpack why the changes matter, what schools must now record, and how a stronger focus on de-escalation and SEND support could reshape behaviour management—while highlighting why staff, leaders, and parents should have their say in the consultation.
