Training

Your training either holds up. Or it doesn’t.

Stand2 has delivered conflict management, physical intervention, and personal safety training for over 25 years – to ambulance services, NHS trusts, probation services, local authorities, and universities across the UK. Our programmes are AIM accredited, built around your specific risk profile, and delivered by trainers who have worked in the environments your staff face every day.

When an incident happens – and in your sector, it will – the question isn’t whether your staff were trained. It’s whether they were trained well enough.

01OVERVIEW

What sets Stand2 apart isn’t the curriculum. It’s the people delivering it. That’s why our training programmes are designed around the realities of your environment, workforce and operational requirements.

Our trainers bring direct operational experience from ambulance services, healthcare, security, and law enforcement – the same environments your staff work in every day. That means every session reflects what actually happens under pressure, not just what should happen in theory.

We’ve spent over 25 years refining programmes that work under real conditions, for real organisations, in regulated environments where the consequences of poor training aren’t abstract. Our clients don’t come back because we’re the cheapest option. They come back because the training actually works.

Find the right level for your organisation

Every programme is mapped to a specific risk profile and operational environment. Start with the level that reflects where your teams work and what they’re likely to face.

De-escalation

Your frontline staff encounter distressed, challenging, and verbally aggressive people as a matter of routine. How they respond in those moments determines whether a situation stays manageable or becomes an incident. Level 1 programmes give staff the awareness and communication skills to recognise warning signs early and de-escalate before things go further.

Commonly delivered to:

  • Healthcare and community health services

  • Education and learning environments

  • Social care and supported living

  • Frontline customer facing services
  • Charities and third sector organisations

  • Local authorities and housing teams

Conflict Management

Some roles carry a foreseeable risk of physical harm – not as the norm, but as a realistic possibility your organisation has a duty to prepare for. Level 2 programmes go beyond awareness, giving staff the communication frameworks, situational awareness, and decision-making tools to manage conflict safely and confidently. This is training that needs to hold up when things go wrong – and it does.

Commonly delivered to:

  • Healthcare and clinical support teams
  • Housing officers and local authority staff
  • Social care and community support roles
  • Education and further education environments
  • Transport, retail, and customer-facing sectors
  • Security, facilities, and enforcement-adjacent roles

Physical Intervention

When your staff work in environments where physical harm is a genuine risk — and where they may need to intervene physically to prevent injury — the quality of their training is not optional. Level 3 programmes are built around safe, proportionate, and legally defensible responses, with de-escalation and the least restrictive approach at every stage. This is the training trusted by security teams protecting high-profile, politically sensitive, and critical infrastructure sites across the UK.

Commonly delivered to:

  • Healthcare, hospital teams, and clinical environments
  • Ambulance services and urgent care settings
  • Security, facilities, and enforcement environments
  • Social care and supported living teams
  • Education settings with higher-risk behavioural presentations
  • Transport, retail, and customer-facing environments where risk is elevated

Protest Management

Protest activity is increasingly part of the operational landscape for organisations across the public and private sector. This programme gives your staff the awareness, communication strategies, and decision-making frameworks to remain safe, professional, and legally compliant when they encounter protest or activist disruption. This is not an enforcement course – the focus is on keeping your people safe and your organisation’s actions ethical, lawful, and defensible.

Commonly delivered to:

  • Local authorities and civic buildings
  • Universities, colleges, and campus security teams
  • Transport, energy, and critical-infrastructure sites
  • Housing, community safety, and neighbourhood response teams
  • Private security and facilities management providers
  • Large office estates, corporate HQs, and public-facing services
  • Venues hosting events, exhibitions, or high-profile activities

Advanced Specialist Skills

Some roles demand a level of physical capability and tactical decision-making that goes well beyond standard conflict management training. Level 5 programmes are built for individuals operating at the highest risk — where the stakes are high, the situations are complex, and generic training is not enough. These programmes are delivered by trainers who have operated at this level themselves.

Commonly delivered to:

  • Security teams responsible for high-risk or sensitive premises
  • Enforcement teams and specialist response units
  • Event and stadium safety teams operating above standard SIA requirements
  • Facilities teams managing conflict in large or public-facing environments
  • Organisations requiring enhanced operational capability in elevated-risk scenarios

Excellent. Done a few courses over the years regarding conflict management and this was the best. Relaxed teaching and no one was afraid to make a mistake or ask any questions. Enjoyed this much more than my recent SIA renewal in all honesty.

Really thoughtful and experienced teachers. After the training I felt really confident in conflict resolution and physical intervention. Thank you now I know how to protect myself, the general public and my organisation if a situation comes up.

Very well structured course and effectively taught. Techniques and solutions were very helpful.

Very good! Other security companys should learn this Easy to learn

Really course, tutors were great especially Chris who made it fun and interactive

Really enjoyed the training Dave and Chris are very engaging

Engaging PowerPoint, really good instructors, time to practice techniques

I recently completed training at Stand2 and had a great experience. The course was well organised, engaging and delivered by Chris C, who explained everything clearly using practical, real-life examples. The training has given me greater confidence in managing conflict, assessing risk, and keeping myself and others safe. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop these important skills.
