What is the purpose of the CPI Children's Control Position and the CPI Team Control Position?

The purpose of the CPI Children's Control Position and the CPI Team Control Position is indeed closely tied to the scenario where behavior poses a greater danger than the risks associated with intervention. These positions are designed to ensure the safety of both the individuals involved and those around them, particularly when a person is exhibiting aggressive or potentially harmful behavior. By utilizing these control positions, trained staff can safely manage the situation while minimizing risk.

Both positions allow for a level of control that is necessary to intervene effectively in a way that prioritizes safety for everyone involved. The focus is not on establishing dominance, as that could escalate a situation rather than de-escalate it. Instead, the key objective is to manage behaviors that could lead to harm, not just for the individual acting out, but also for others in the environment.
