Breakaway & Disengagement

If your staff potentially face an aggressive situation at work, then the ability to de-escalate a volatile situation or “Breakaway” from an aggressor is essential. Training from Blossom Training & Development gives confidence and competence to deal with incidents of aggression or violence in the workplace, giving a secure understanding of rights and responsibilities under legislation.

Blossom Training & Development can assist employers in ensuring that their staff have received effective and legally compliant training to help keep them safe during their working role.  We only use medically risk assessed physical skills that are easy to learn, easy to remember and that have a track record of effectiveness.

Following one of our training courses, delegates would, if necessary, be able to apply reasonable breakaway techniques, relevant to their work place setting and to the level of threat they may face.

• Consider alternative strategies for avoiding the need to use breakaway techniques;
