Please note we may need to postpone this course should there be insufficient numbers to make it viable. 
What will it cover?
On completion of the session you will be able to:
- Describe personal and situational factors which can cause, trigger or exacerbate incidents
- Apply measures that can reduce likelihood of incidents
- Be alert to early warning indicators
- React assertively when faced with challenging behaviour
- Apply calming and de-escalation techniques
- Apply Moray Council’s policies and procedures
While the course touches briefly on some legal issues, it obviously cannot authoritatively cover all relevant law. The course does NOT cover breakaway, self-defence, arrest or restraint techniques.
