Increase your awareness of potential risks and identify practical ways to reduce the likelihood of an incident.

This interactive course provides staff with practical, easy to apply techniques to protect themselves and escape safely from physical threats in the workplace. Focused on personal safety, awareness, positioning and disengagement, the course prioritises avoidance and breakaway strategies rather than confrontation.

Situational awareness and risk reduction

De-escalation and communication skills

Boundary setting and personal safety positioning

Simple, effective breakaway techniques

Legal context for self defence

This course is suitable for lone workers and frontline staff. Course content is aligned with UK legislation and best practice, building confidence while reducing the risk of harm.
