This course is specifically designed for staff working in a residential setting caring for elderly people. Research shows that many staff in the elderly area sustain injuries from their patients/clients while carrying out various procedures.
The course helps staff to be more aware of violence and aggression in the care of elderly or learning difficulties and provides specific motor skill training to maintain personal safety at work while delivering personal care to the individual elderly person.

The key to the training is responding to violence or disturbed behaviour at an appropriate level, and avoiding the tendency to overreact, or to use unnecessary force. The techniques taught are recognised techniques and are aimed at maximising the safety of all parties. They aim to protect the dignity of the client at all times.
The course can be tailored for younger age groups, or learning disabilities.
