Who is this course for?
Care and education staff with identified needs in both subjects. This specialist combination should be discussed against the risks, roles and support arrangements in your setting.
What your team will work towards
- Connect physical intervention and ligature risk management within one programme.
- Consider prevention, risk assessment and staff responsibilities across both subjects.
- Bring the learning together around the needs of your team.
Does your team need both areas of training?
The combined two-day option addresses both learning needs in one programme. The standalone physical intervention and half-day ligature courses remain available when your team needs a separate focus.
What the course covers
- The relationship between prevention, intervention and ligature risk awareness
- Staff responsibilities and the role of organisational procedures
- Risk assessment and communication across the team
- How supervised practical learning will be organised
- The scope of assessment and support for learners
