* Using positive handling / restraint techniques when required in line with school policy
* Supporting learning during lessons while maintaining behaviour boundaries
* Helping the pupil develop resilience, self-regulation and positive social interaction
* Monitoring behaviour and feeding back to staff to ensure consistent support
