The B•Tect course is mainly physical in nature teaching the Protectics breakaway techniques and practising them (repeatedly until they become an automatic reflex).

The course teaches just a few effective techniques that are simple to use and as safe as possible for both 'you' and the 'client'. The techniques are easy to learn and (in many cases) can be used in a variety of different situations. Indeed, ONE technique that you will learn on this course can be used equally effectively against a grab, a shove, a punch and a strangle. 

The B•Tect 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 B.Tect 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 will receive a comprehensive course manual which provides a reference for the techniques taught on the course and a copy of "How to Deal with Verbal Aggression" so as to help attendees improve their interpersonal communication skills thus hopefully helping prevent assaults from occurring.
  
All attendees should be advised that they will be engaging in some mildly strenuous physical activities. Anyone with any medical, physical, or psychological problems that could be complicated by such activities, should advise the course tutor.

"Many thanks for a really good day. The training was relevant, simple to understand and simple to put in place. I feel it will give my staff confidence to deal with some difficult situations, hopefully we will not need to use the techniques very often but if it is necessary they are easy and simple to use."
