PHYSICAL INTERVENTION

Duration: 7 hours

Aim: This programme has been designed to complement the conflict management and personal safety programme for security staff or other professionals who may have to physically intervene to protect themselves or others in the workplace.

Delegates are taught how to work as a team to de-escalate or if required physically control a situation which has escalated to the point where intervention is required.

The Physical Intervention (PI) element of the C.A.R.E.programme includes the same subject matter as the Conflict Management syllabus with additional subjects covered including:

• Use of Force Guidelines
• Supporting and prompting
• Guiding and escorting
• Third party intervention
• Team control
• Emergency control
• Medical imlications of restraints
• De-escalation and safe disengagement

Each programme is specifically designed to meet the idividual needs of your organisation. This programme may also be supplemented with advanced PI skills, ground control skills and handcuffing techniques where required. The PI programme would typically be one or two days duration dependant upon the range and level of skills needed.

Since June 2010 physical intervention skills have formed part of the SIA (Security Industry Authority) door supervisors licence qualification. In addition to the C.A.R.E. programme Stand2 are also able to offer the SIA level 2 (end users) or level 3 (trainers) qualification in P.I.
