AGGRESSION MANAGEMENT
The areas in which
we can offer you assistance and advice are verbal aggression management
and physical aggression management.
The variety of potential
aggressors ranges in the commercial environment from the 'little old lady'
who is mildly angry with a shop assistant or a call centre operative through
to the 'customer from Hell' who is overcome by rage and about to explode
and attack the parking attendant or hotel receptionist that has become
the focus for their anger.
Our primary course
is our V•Tect Dealing with
Verbal Aggression course which gives you a practical understanding
of the causes of aggression along with simple to remember methods
for dealing with verbal assaults.
If your occupation
places you in greater risk then the next step is training in P•Tect
Dealing with Physical Aggression, this course shows you how to protect
yourself from an unwarranted physical attack by showing you how
simple self preservation techniques can keep you safe, this course
also introduces the basics of self defence.
You may be wondering,
what is the difference between self preservation and self defence?
There
is a variety of ways that an assault can be dealt with, the first
and simplest is to deal with the aggression at a verbal and emotional
level.
Next there is self
preservation training which is focused on avoidance and redirection strategies
so that you are not touched by the aggressor.
Next comes breakaway
training which is required by people who have a duty of care to
the aggressor, this includes medical staff and others in a caring
occupation - If you are in this category we offer the B•Tect
Breakaway Training course.
Then there is
self defence, this is where an attack is persistent enough or dangerous
enough that self preservation training will not efficiently safeguard
you. In this case it is necessary (and legally and morally justified)
to use techniques that through either pain compliance or blunt trauma
(which includes things like joint locks or strikes) dissuade the
aggressor from continuing their attack.
The next category
is for people who are in either the caring professions or in the
police or prison service or are doormen or security guards. These
occupations need to use Control and Restraint techniques which Protectics
offers via an associated company who are one of the UK's leading
providers in this area. We do however offer directly, a modified
version of our V•Tect course
which is more suited to those professionals who need training in
Tactical Communications.
Finally there
are the more extreme forms of physical aggression management required
by people whose profession puts them in danger of of being attacked
with lethal intent, this training is extremely specialised and is
only offered by Protectics to government or other specialist organisations.
