Why This Course Stands Out
Challenging behaviours and safety risks are part of care—handling them well is crucial. This two-day training dives into proactive positive behaviour support and tailored breakaway techniques, reducing reliance on restraint while keeping you and others safe. Aligned with Restraint Reduction Network standards (though not BILD-certified), it’s perfect for enhancing skills, meeting health and safety duties, and fostering a supportive environment.

Immerse yourself in a robust, practical curriculum over two days, blending theory and tailored techniques. You’ll cover:
-
