BREAKAWAY TECHNIQUES
Breakaway techniques are vital manoeuvres used by a member of staff to break away from a potentially violent person without harming him or her.
This course is aimed at anyone who is at risk of physical assault in the workplace. Such as: –
- Healthcare Professionals

It will provide staff with the skills necessary to break away from a potentially aggressive situation, where de-escalation techniques have failed and physical assault may be imminent.
