An interactive session exploring how TAs and walls can work together for better outcomes. We will look at supporting walls through an incident and where the TA fits in: how they can be represented as an expert witness and how they can best work with walls to provide good documented support. We will also discuss safety checks undertaken by TAs and the benefit of working to agreed standards.
