The explanation for physical intervention given in England's
EYFS 2008 pg 27 is:
Physical intervention should only be used to manage a child’s behaviour if it is necessary to prevent personal injury to the child, other children or an adult, to prevent serious damage to property, or in what would reasonably be regarded as exceptional circumstances. Any occasion where physical intervention is used to manage a child’s behaviour should be recorded and parents should be informed about it on the same day.
The explanation for physical intervention given in England's
EYFS 2012 pg 24 is:
Physical intervention is where practitioners use reasonable force to prevent children from injuring themselves or others or damaging property.
