A message from Prime Care

Training for the responsibilities you carry.

When you choose training, you are investing in the people who care for and support others. You need learning that relates to their work, welcomes questions and gives them a clearer understanding of the responsibilities they carry.

At Prime Care, we want the conversation to begin with your setting: the people you support, the experience of your staff and the decisions they need to understand. That helps us discuss the right course and agree what the learning should address.

Our commitment is to help your team connect legal understanding with informed decisions and practical care. For your organisation, that means staff better equipped to explain their actions, managers with a clearer basis for reviewing practice, and stronger preparation to account for decisions under external scrutiny.

Our approach

What makes PCT different?

Our physical intervention and use-of-force law training connects the legal framework to the decision staff make at the moment of intervention.

“To keep them safe” explains the aim. It does not, by itself, explain the legal basis for using force. We help staff examine whether an intervention is justified and explain their reasoning using what they knew at the time.

Guidance and organisational policies have important roles within that framework. Our governance-led approach helps your team understand their roles and connect individual decisions with recording, management review and learning.

01

Understand the responsibility

Start with the legal framework for the setting, the rights of the people you support and the duties attached to your role.

02

Consider the decision

Bring risk, available options and the circumstances together. Our physical intervention and law courses include the PCT Decision Assessment Tool.

03

Explain, review and learn

Bring clear staff accounts and the child’s experience into management review. Identify what worked, what needs to change and how decisions can be explained under scrutiny.

Care & education

A clear focus.
A connected course range.

Physical intervention, ligature risk management and use-of-force law sit alongside safeguarding, communication, everyday care practice, first aid and workplace safety.

PCT has its own physical intervention system. Its legal and risk-assessment learning gives the practical skills a framework for responsible use. The dedicated law courses provide space to examine legal understanding separately from practical skills training.

Start with the needs of your school or children’s home, then agree the scope, learner requirements and arrangements for the courses you select.
