Learners will be able to safely manage violence and physical aggression with the absolute minimum of force necessary and reasonable in the circumstances with different gradients of control which are ethical, dignified and legal and as a last resort. This should create a safe working environment for self and others. Our Ethical Care Control & Restraint methods and variations are a broad strategy employed when addressing challenging behaviour and having to use physical intervention against minor, moderate or extreme aggression. The professional needs to be able to address the different challenges with different gradients of control which are at all times ethical, dignified & legal. It is suitable for anyone working in an environment where someone may become so violent that they have to be restrained as a last resort.
