This unique workshop is unlike anything available in the UK. It offers appropriate training to to organisations that are challenged by difficult situations that can impact on staff safety. This workshop brings together elements from a wide range of training events and is delivered in a stigma-free, engaging style.
This training is designed to support staff to better-manage difficult and hostile / challenging situations with effective communication styles that help to reduce conflict escalation and improve service-user / service-provider interactions. It can support the various learning needs of staff, including those working with vulnerable service users and patients in supported environments and those who may be exposed to challenging / hostile service-users in other areas of social care / local authority work.
The training will also focus on improved risk management. It will incorporate the HCR-20 risk assessment tool to help fine-tune staffs’ awareness of risk and when to escalate their concerns to management. Dynamic risk assessments will also be addressed to improve staffs’ overview of situational hazards that may be identified in certain situations and service-user profiles.
Balancing the duties to safeguard the wellbeing of service users vulnerable to mental disorder with health & safety duties to safeguard staff that support or lone work with these service users can be a balancing act. Our training addresses these concerns in a three-step model. Please download the attached overview for more information. Three Steps To A Safer Workplace
