G Hillier. Residential Worker

"I think the course will benefit me both at work and within the general public as it has given me the confidence to know about escaping from an aggressor. It has been very helpful to know also that these moves are simple and effective – I think this is what would enable us to remember them when needed. The way they were broken down was enough to make sure they were easy to remember. I have found this course highly enjoyable. A big thumbs up."

Gemma Larkin. Residential Night Worker

"I really enjoyed this course, it's given me the confidence to utilise my knowledge in a professional manner to control potentially harmful situations … Very friendly instructor who gave lots of excellent advice as well as excellent instruction."

Vickie Shrimpton. Residential Worker

"The presentation of the course was excellent. The trainer explained the legal requirements in a clear, precise manner. I felt his information was quite relevant in preparing me for dealing with difficult situations that may arise whilst on duty. The techniques of control were demonstrated and emphasised in a clear manner with a video back up. I feel the moves are practical and easy to remember. During the practicing, it was clear that the moves are very effective. I believe the training has prepared me to deal with difficult situations and feel more confident to use the moves if necessary."

Esther Burton. RSW

"An excellent course, relevant and unhurried, plenty of time to practice moves. The trainer was also excellent, very patient and dedicated to keeping his audience safe. Lots of very relevant information and techniques that can be used in our workplace. A very pleasant course to do and would recommend to all colleagues. Well presented and enjoyable."
