Aims & Benefits Of Course:
|
|
The course is mainly physical in nature
teaching the Protectics breakaway techniques and practicing 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.

| Notes: |
|
| The breakaway 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 carer/client relationship. |
|
|
The above are 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 achieve
this.
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 breakaway 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 neutralized in a way that protects both parties
physically and also minimizes any emotional trauma. It is important that after the assault
both parties should be able to continue communicating with mutual respect and appropriate
friendship.
All attendees will receive a comprehensive documentation
which provides a reference for the techniques taught on the course.
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."
