Physical Intervention Training

Physical interventions, the use of direct or indirect force through bodily, physical or mechanical means to limit another person’s movement

 

We should always consider the use of physical interventions as a last resort and there should be few occasions when its use is necessary.  Specifically, you may have to use a physical intervention for the safety and security of someone or, on more rare occasions property.  You should only consider using physical interventions to prevent a greater harm being caused and you don’t have any other viable option.  In other words, you have either tried other options already and they have failed or, you have decided not to use them as they are likely to fail given the circumstances.

​

By the same token we will only train you, or your staff in the use of physical interventions if there is an identified training need.  Therefore, within your working environment, your use, or potential use of physical interventions can be evidenced as necessary, and the training is justifiable

​

Prestigious Training Solutions Ltd aim is to reduce the use of workplace physical interventions to the absolute minimum.  Therefore, we actively promote the continual and consistent use of positive alternatives.
