Maybo SAFERwork Physical Intervention

 

RTC are proud to be able to offer our clients the Maybo SAFERwork Physical

Intervention Program.

 

Who is this course for?

 

Physical intervention training is required in certain roles to enable staff to safely

and effectively manage aggressive and challenging behaviour. The course is of

particular value to roles such as:

Security Personnel

Lone workers

Transport staff such as Bus, Train, Tube and Taxi drivers

Staff who have to deal with potentially violent situations

Staff at high risk of physical attack or assault

 

Why should I take this course?

 

In today’s world many of us are in involved in high risk roles and activities that may

require us to utilise some form of physical intervention. However until recently there

was a distinct lack of formal recognised training to address this issue. Furthermore

with the lack of training anyone who uses or applies any form of physical intervention

may, potentially, be left open to accusations of assault and potential prosecution.

 

Maybo’s unique programme equips candidates with the necessary skills to calm a

situation, without resorting to the application of pain techniques to gain the

aggressor’s compliance. These skills are taught in such a way as to allow

the candidates to identify the least aversive option to either extract themselves

or calm the situation.

 

These skills were created so that both men and women can confidently apply

them in situations to protect themselves, colleagues and customers. Furthermore

the entire programme of skills has undergone a complete expert medical

and legal review.

 

This course also helps employer’s to meet their duty of care towards the welfare

of their staff members who work in roles or areas that may place them at risk of

potential physical assault or attack.

 

What does the course cover?

 

This module based training varies from disengagement tactics to more advanced

rescue techniques, escorting methods through to holding skills. Throughout the

course we will examine:

The requirement to use non-physical skills as far as possible

The law in relation to ‘reasonable force’ and ‘self defence’

The value of assessing a situation before intervening

Using physical intervention as a last resort

Possible medical implications

The potential legal implications of the techniques

Disengagement techniques

Escorting and guiding skills

Holding skills

 

How can I enrol for this course?

 

To be able to undertake the Physical Intervention training programme all candidates

must have gained a formal qualification in conflict management, or successfully have

completed the Maybo Conflict Management course, prior to commencing

the programme.

 

What level of training does my role require?

 

All candidates are given training in the necessary skills to match the requirements of

their role and the location they work in. In order to enable RTC to deliver the correct

level of training we will perform a training needs assessment before deciding upon

which programme is suitable.

 

Do I have to take an exam to pass the course?

 

No, candidates do not have to sit a formal examination on the course. However

candidates must be able to satisfy the trainer that they can accurately demonstrate

the skills they have been taught.

 

Will I get a certificate if I pass?

 

Yes. Once the candidate has been signed off by the trainer they will receive

a nationally recognised certificate accredited by City & Guilds, and issued by

Maybo approximately two weeks later.
