Our half or one day Personal Safety/Breakaway/Self Defence/Lone Worker training is designed to give your staff the knowledge and confidence to protect themselves when faced with a potentially violent situation. We ensure delegates understand that physical intervention is always a last resort and that theyuse the minimum force possible to deal with the situation.

All techniques are effective and risk assessed ensuring you meet your legal responsibilities as an employer. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 states:
