Quick Overview

The physical intervention training course is a classroom based course. It is highly recommended that course our 'Preventing and Managing Challenging Behaviour' course 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.
