Ethical escape: ethical physical techniques for escaping from physical attack

"If the ratings went from 1 to 100 then I would circle 100 both times, absolutely fabulous. I feel much more confidence about getting out of tricky situations and also know where I stand in the eyes of the law. The tutor's experience really shone through in the two day presentation and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the course, especially the stories. Thank you, please come back."

Mark Edwards. Key Worker

"This was the most enjoyable and interesting course I have ever undertaken. The tutor put everyone at ease and made the course enjoyable and informative. I only wish I had taken the course earlier as it would have been very useful with situations I have found myself in, in the past.

Susan Whilsworth. Keywork/Support

"Brilliant, best course I have attended in years and relevant to my job, really well presented. With someone who has faced the same situation as we do day in day out."

Stephen Tarney. Keyworker

"Extremely rewarding and beneficial – a truly enlightening course that has covered so many areas that I needed knowledge and to build on confidence. The course was set at a good rate of pace where I was able to keep up and understand. It is probably without a doubt the most essential and most enjoyable course I have ever been on – its just a shame its taken 14 years of being in care work working with vulnerable, dangerous young adults/children before finally being able to have this opportunity to actually know what is right and wrong."

Jason Dear. Residential Worker

"I was pleased with the way the tutor identified with the course participants empathising with our work situations. Learning the practical skills was a fun experience despite being relevant to the very real potential dangers of the job."

Bruce Sneddon. Care Assistant

"Brilliant! Enjoyed every minute! Wish I could have done this years ago. Hope I never have to use what I've learned in the future but can think of several past instances when this knowledge would have been a great help. I think all staff could benefit from this if they are providing front line service."

Nigel Dickens. Practice Supervisor

"As usual and entertaining and informative presentation of the course material. I have attended a number of physical intervention training schemes from different local authorities this is clearly the most ethical and useful I've attended."

Andrew Nixen. Senior Residential Social Worker

"Excellent course, well presented in a clear manner with humour but not taking away from the seriousness of issues. It was an extremely valuable team building exercise which has brought all staff together … I feel much more confident in assisting in restraints and being a valuable member of the team."

Suzanne Creedon. Head of Education

"This course was the best one I have ever attended. The tutor was a very relaxed and humorous person, which made learning so much easier to grasp."
