We know that children are often held as an act of care and as a last resort by untrained and often unsupported carers trying to do their best. Although not intentioned this creates dangerous situations. CALM feels strongly that we have a professional responsibility to provide much needed training in this area. The programme is designed to prepare parents and carers for exceptional situations where physical intervention and/or escape techniques may represent the last resort to prevent serious harm. The course will teach you to physically intervene proportionately, compassionately and in ways that maximise psychological and physical safety.
