This course in Dis-engagement and Physical Intervention (Vulnerable People) has been designed specifically for the providers of care to vulnerable service users in a residential environment. Using guidance from national regulatory and guidance bodies, it provides staff and managers with a greater understanding of restraint, underpinning decisions with knowledge.
This three day course examines the law in relation to physical intervention, restraint and manual handling as well as teaching staff physical skills including disengagement, non-aggressive defence techniques, guiding and low level holds, then moving on to more restrictive holds and dis-engagement strategies.
Effective communication during incidents of restraint has been proved to dramatically aid in the de-escalation of incidents, promoting the welfare of all concerned and fostering good will between the service user and staff involved. As such, COVIC Training Solutions actively encourage the development of effective communication skills during restraint training in order to better equip staff to manage challenging and confrontational behaviour safely.
