On-site Training

When our trainers are able to deliver face-to-face training, something unique happens.

Our focus on ‘relationship-first’, candid discussion, and personal reflection fosters an environment of warmth, openness and clarity. The result is transformed perspectives and renewed commitment to whole-organisation wellbeing.

In addition to the ‘environmental-shift’ that often occurs as a result of in-person training, there are numerous other advantages to choosing on-site training for your organisation.

Whether your goal is safeguarding staff and service users, enhancing quality of life, or ensuring adherence to legal guidelines – understanding why behaviours that challenge occur is at the core of any successful intervention.

Engaging in the use of restrictive physical intervention or restraint is an unpleasant experience for all. It should only EVER be done where all other potential solutions and responses have been exhausted.

The Physical Intervention Instructor Programme prepares practitioners to deliver the CALM Physical Intervention Course training programme as part of their work role.

Training staff in self-defence techniques has often been seen as the key to personal safety. However, it can be argued that as a strategy, such free-standing programmes increase, rather than decrease risk.

The CALM Escape Techniques Instructor Programme trains you to be able to deliver the CALM Escape Techniques Course within your organisation.

The CALM Integrating Positive Behaviour Support (IPBS) course is distinct from more traditional PBS courses in a number of significant ways.

In the aftermath of a serious incident, organisations have duties to the people they support, their staff and regulators. De-briefing can play a significant role in meeting such duties, supporting staff, promoting reflection and accountability, maximising learning, reducing the likelihood of further incidents and ultimately improving the service.

CALM works with many service sectors including some of the largest housing service providers, further education provision and customer service staff. Within many sectors including social care there has been a fundamental shift from staff working in buildings and in teams to staff increasingly working on their own. This can lead to staff feeling less safe and a need for organisations to develop new and different approaches to risk. Getting this right matters.

Self-harm and suicide are distinct and separate acts with differing motivational factors. Self-harm is usually a coping mechanism and is more about staying alive, while someone may choose suicide to end physical or emotional pain.

At CALM, we believe that the safest intervention is the one you never have to apply.
