Personal Safety & Breakaway Training Course

Personal Safety & Breakaway Training is relevant for ANYBODY; the information and techniques taught can be used in any setting, both professional and personal. The training is essential for industries where staff, including lone workers, are more likely to be physically attacked. Our comprehensive training course is designed to equip staff with the skills and knowledge needed to ensure their personal safety and effectively manage challenging situations in the workplace.

Healthcare workers often face situations that can put their safety at risk, whether it’s dealing with aggressive patients or managing challenging behaviours. That’s why it’s crucial for healthcare professionals to be prepared and trained in personal safety and breakaway techniques.
