Occasionally the children and young people in our care can display challenging and unsafe behaviours. WECIL staff are trained to use de-escalation techniques and distraction to defuse situations and any behaviours that may appear challenging. On the occasion where this is unsuccessful and staff, others and the environment are at risk, trained staff will use positive handling techniques and restraint as a last resort when necessary.
If a situation arises with your child this will be discussed with you at pick up and recorded on appropriate forms for you to sign.
