Breakaway
Breaking away when encountering incidents of aggression or violence.
Course Introduction
Violence is often linked to insecurity. When your staff are aware of potential triggers, are skilled in de-escalation, and, should an incident occur, know that it can be contained safely and with minimum distress to all concerned, it brings about a confidence, which itself minimises risk.
This is a practical course based around personal safety. It teaches how to breakaway when encountering incidents of aggression or violence.
