Protective Intervention Training (PIT)

In order to meet demand, the Department has increased capacity to provided funded quality-assured Protective Intervention Training for 2024.  We are all acutely aware of the increasing need to manage challenging student behaviours. Whilst PIT training does not teach techniques for physical restraint, it does help school staff in preventing and de-escalating behaviours of concern.

To access protective intervention training at your school download and submit  an Expression of interest form (PDF) to safer.school.communities@education.vic.gov.au to receive funding from the department to cover the costs of training.
