OVERVIEW

About this course.

Work-related violence is one of the most serious and under-reported health and safety risks facing people who deal with the public. Every year, hundreds of thousands of workers in Britain experience threats, verbal abuse or physical assault while simply doing their jobs. Nurses, paramedics, shop workers, bus and train staff, security officers, council and benefits staff, social workers, traffic an.

The course covers the scale of the problem and who is most at risk, the employer's legal duty under the HSW Act, common causes and triggers, de-escalation and disengagement techniques, lone-worker controls, reporting and recording, and the post-incident support — including trauma response — that protects staff wellbeing.
