One-Day Course on Awareness of Personal Safety

Have you received any recent training in personal safety?

Are you vulnerable when visiting premises, because your only means of communication is your mobile phone

Would you feel confident in dealing with an injured colleague, whilst awaiting help from the emergency services?

Could you confidently identify situations where your personal safety may be at risk?

Do you know how to approach a ‘perpetrator’ safely?

Would you be able to recognise the tell tale danger cues of someone preparing to attack you?

If the answer to any of the above questions is “No”, then our Safety Awareness Course is specifically for you.

This workshop will forever change the way you do your job and could ultimately save your life.

We use real life footage, and highlight the lessons to be learnt from both topical and well known cases, where failings have, or could have lead to serious consequences, or even loss of life.

Designed in conjunction with members of a local authority Community Safety Team, this One-Day Workshop is intended as a foundation course and ‘Best Practice Guide’ to assist in identifying and reducing the potential risks faced by you and your colleagues, when working in the public domain. The training also covers other basic skills relevant to your role and includes:

“Professional, quirky… knowledgeable trainer who was able to cater for the mixed experience of those attending…an educational Peter Kay”
