Course Overview:
This course aims to equip delegates to deal with the search of people, vehicles, area’s and how to plan and execute the plan. It is a mainly practical course, which requires active involvement from all delegates. A high emphasis is placed on Health & Safety from both a legislative point of view and of the delegates own safety during the course.
Since May 2007 the law has also given permission for head teachers and authorised staff in schools and colleges a new power to search pupils without consent when they have reasonable grounds for suspecting the pupil is carrying a knife or other weapon. Similar arrangements now apply to other Institutions of Further and Higher Education.
