National Physical Restraint Policy for Schools

With the changes to the Education and Training Act 2020, every school in New Zealand is required to have a Physical Restraint policy in place by 7 May, 2023. Our policy is on our School DOCS platform, which you can access here (username is "AJHS" and the password is "empower".)

This Physical Restraint policy has been approved by our Board of Trustees. Our teachers and support staff will receive the appropriate training, as per normal process, to ensure all members of our community are kept as safe as possible. We will provide updates on this process over the coming months.
