Breakaway training is a classroom course.

It can also be known in some situations known as disengagement and physical intervention training.

Dealing with people with behavioural difficulties can be challenging. We will give your staff the knowledge and skills to prevent and manage these challenges should reduce the frequency and intensity of the behaviour. It is highly recommended that the course is delivered following training in preventing challenging behaviour and promoting positive behaviour training. This is because physical intervention should always only be used in the context of a last resort. This course involves simple, safe breakway techniques that allow staff to step back from physical danger and re-engage to de-escalate. The course is classroom based.

This Physical Intervention course is classroom based. It is highly recommended that 'Preventing and Managing Challenging Behaviour' training is completed before commissioning training in disengagement, breakaway or physical intervention techniques.

This will ensure that all other possible options to prevent and manage the behaviour have been exhausted prior to utilising any physical response or restrictive practice. Training techniques are selected based upon service need and the techniques themselves are fully risk assessed. All training is delivered by fully qualified trainers with many years experience working in health and social care settings.
