Rationale and Aims:
If you work with people who may be violent then you should know physical intervention techniques. And they must be proper, effective, ethical ones; ‘bash and dash’ type techniques are inappropriate because (a) they are as unethical as the violence you are managing and (b) you need to retain a good working relationship with your client.
In three days you will learn a number of techniques so thoroughly that you can apply them in a wide range of situations. You will also have a video of the methods covered, for later reference.
Physical techniques should be regarded as the last resort, so all the techniques taught on this course are designed to fulfil three criteria:
• They strive to maintain the dignity of both the aggressor and the professional.
• They aim not to encourage future episodes of aggression (e.g. ‘revenge’).
• They must be in line with the normal professional endeavour of maintaining a good relationship with others.
.......................................................................................................................................................................
Who Should Attend:
Everybody who works with people who may be aggressive or violent.
.......................................................................................................................................................................
The course covers the following. Someone:
• Holding your clothes and threatening you.
• Holding or pulling your hair or your earring.
• Strangling you, either standing up or on the floor.
• Biting or scratching you, or endeavouring to do so.
• Giving you a ‘bear hug’ or squeezes your very tightly.
• Running towards you with the intention of hitting you.
• Trying to kick or punch, or uses a chair etc. as a weapon.
• Throwing things at you.
• What to do if somebody is harming themselves, for example by banging their heads
against a wall.
• How to safely remove a person to another area.
• What to do when two or more people are fighting.
• How to disarm a person.
• Particular problems specific to your organisation that you choose to raise.
.......................................................................................................................................................................
Other Important Areas Covered:
• Legal and ethical considerations: areas of the body that must be avoided and why.
• How to form a restraint team and operate effectively.
• The reporting and recording of incidents. The function of debriefing and how it is done.
Notes:
• This is a physical course and sponsors must provide ample room for 8 pairs to move
around freely.
• An annual 1-day refresher course is also available.
• We can provide extended and in-depth versions of up to 10 days duration, with refresher
and monitoring options.
