The seminar is classroom based. The day includes significant physical intervention training, which requires working in a group and one to one. Presentation software is used, in addition to role play, and notes are provided for future reference. Role play is utilised in order to provide a realistic situation for each member of staff to deal with, and to ensure that each of the theoretical scenarios are practiced in a simulated situation has immediate practical benefits to the participants.
Voluntary Aided, Foundation & Trust, Independent, Free and Academy status schools are among those benefitting from this comprehensive Personal Safety seminar.
There is an optional Breakaway Training section that provides the participants with the skills to deal with a physical assault, always bearing in mind the Duty of Care and the fact that it is likely that the attendee may have to work with the attacker in the future.
All Breakaway techniques are non-interventional i.e. they do not involve damaging the perpetrator, and are based on the premise that escape is the optimum response.
A Certificate of Attendance is presented to all participants, and attendees are requested to complete a feedback form on completion of the course, in order that we can continue to improve our workshops and courses.
