Reviews
Course programme
Physical intervention skills may be needed in some workplaces to manage challenging behaviour safely. Depending on the risks faced in the job this can involve anything from avoidance and disengagement
skills through to rescue, escorting and holding skills.
BeSmart Training is licensed to deliver the Maybo SAFERwork Physical Itervention programme.
This training is a unique physical skills programme that is simple and effective, yet lower in risk for the staff using them and the individuals to whom they are applied. The non-aggressive skills help to calm situations because they don’t use pain to seek compliance. They are taught in a way that enables staff to identify the least aversive options to achieve the objective. Based on simple yet powerful principles men and women confidently apply these skills in a range of environments to protect themselves, their colleagues and customers.
Importantly, training also examines medical implications and legal advice on the use of force. Physical Intervention training at every level reinforces the need to utilise non-physical strategies as far as practicable, with physical intervention being a last resort.
Candidates will be given the skills to suit their situation and location. To do this we carry out a training needs analysis before designing the programme.
The programme will be based on the level of risk, employee and service user considerations and typical problems experienced. It will generally be split as follows.
Disengagement: This training examines how staff can reduce the risks of assault through non-physical measures and avoid assault through their positioning and approach. They then learn how to disengage from the most common types of assault they can face in their role. This can extend to coming to the aid of another person and non-restrictive guiding skills.
Holding: Where the job role may legitimately involve physically escorting or holding an individual, holds are taught that help to protect staff and avoid pain or discomfort for the individual. Such techniques
may be required in a variety of frontline roles.
All skills have undergone expert medical and legal review.
