The training will show how an assault can be dealt with
in a manner that
a) Protects the person being assaulted.
b) Protects the attacker.
c) Protects the relationship.
The above are obviously in order of
importance.
The person (service provider / carer) being assaulted has
a legal and moral right to remain safe and our techniques will show you how to maximise your
ability to deal with an assault.
The person (service user / client) performing the assault
is not the 'enemy' just someone who at that moment is displaying behaviour that cannot be
allowed (i.e. an attack that could injure a service provider). However their safety is also
important so the techniques are designed to avoid causing pain or injury.
The relationship between the two parties is also VERY
important - Generally an assault is a one off incident in an ongoing relationship. By using
the appropriate techniques the assault can be neutralised in a way that protects both parties
physically and also minimises any emotional trauma. It is important that after the assault
both parties can be able to continue communicating with mutual respect and appropriate
friendship.
All attendees should be advised that they will be
engaging in some mildly strenuous physical activities. A
physical and psychological fitness form needs to be filled in by each participant prior to
the training course. Anyone with any medical, physical, or psychological
problems that could be complicated by such activities, should advise the course
tutor.
All attendees will receive a comprehensive course manual
which provides a reference for the techniques taught on the course.
