Safer practice.
Decisions you can explain.
Training for children’s homes and schools that connects legal understanding, risk assessment and practical skills. Help your team make informed decisions, explain their actions and support accountable review.
Their decisions.Learning grounded in responsibility.
The law behind
the decision.
Our law and physical intervention training connects the legal framework to the moment staff decide to intervene. That is what governance-led training means in practice.
“To keep them safe” explains the aim.
It does not, by itself, explain the legal basis for using force. PCT helps staff examine whether an intervention is justified and explain their reasoning using what they knew at the time.
What this means for your organisation
Better-informed decisions
Help staff connect legal understanding, assessment of risk and the options available. The PCT Decision Assessment Tool gives your team a shared way to examine its reasoning.
Clearer records and review
Help staff explain their actions and managers examine the decisions behind them. Bring the child’s experience and learning from incidents into that review.
Prepared for scrutiny
Support your team to explain and evidence its decisions when practice is questioned. Give leaders a clearer basis for demonstrating accountable oversight to external reviewers.
Clarity that stays
with the learner.
