🔒 Fully aligned to the April 2026 DfE guidance on restrictive interventions

Get your school compliant with the April 2026 DfE guidance on restrictive interventions with this practical seven-resource pack for headteachers, SENDCos, behaviour leads and pastoral teams. The guidance replaces the 2013 Use of Reasonable Force advice and introduces new statutory recording and reporting duties – this pack helps you understand what has changed, audit your current practice and policy, and get the right systems in place.

You'll get a:

☑️ Leader Action Checklist that works through every area of the guidance – from statutory recording and reporting duties to policy, SEND support, staff training and governing body oversight – so you can identify your most urgent actions and plan your response 

☑️ Policy Checklist to audit your existing policy against the new statutory requirements and identify any gaps before governors are asked to ratify it 

☑️ Behaviour Risk Assessment Form and Pupil Behaviour Support Plan Template to support individual pupils where there is an identified risk of needing to use reasonable force, with a focus on de-escalation and preventative strategies

☑️ Use of Restrictive Intervention and Reasonable Force Log with every statutory recording field built in, so leaders can record incidents compliantly and meet the same-day notification duty with confidence

☑️ Staff Training Presentation – a ready-made PowerPoint covering the guidance changes, staff legal powers, the three-part assessment and recording responsibilities – all ready to use in a staff meeting with no preparation needed.
