Physical Intervention
How to ensure that service users and staff are kept safe when physical interventions are required.
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.
Physical Intervention is very much the last resort in dealing with violence and aggression. Team techniques are taught to ensure that service users and staff are kept safe when a service user is in a state of heightened emotion.
Course Objectives
- Competence in every aspect of safe holding of an individual.
- Building upon confidence of staff members.
