We fully recognise that adults are typically bigger and stronger than children. For this reason, the primary and preferred response taught is always early awareness, shouting, creating distance, and escaping to safety.

The physical techniques shown on this page are taught strictly as a last resort, only when a child is being physically grabbed or taken and escape by other means is not possible.

These techniques are carefully drilled under professional supervision and focus on disrupting balance and structure to force a release — not strength, aggression, or prolonged engagement.

Parental permission has been granted for the children involved to participate in and be shown in this training content due to the effectiveness of the techniques and the safeguarding standards in place.
