By Joanne Skellern and Andrew Lovell
ISBN: 978-1-908258-08-3

Description:
Violence in health and social care settings is now recognised as a major international concern. Training in the recognition and management of potentially violent situations can assist to prevent situations escalating to the point where violence occurs. This training resource pack contains:

• A DVD of 25 simulated scenarios
• A training manual on how to use the DVD which also includes a ‘notes for trainers’ section

The aim is to provide you with the materials needed to:

• Create a forum where violence can be discussed
• Encourage reflection on your own and colleagues responses to threatening situations
• Facilitate assessment of potentially violent or threatening situations
• Enable you and your colleagues to plan for adverse situations
• Encourage a review of practices in relation to National and local policies and procedures

This training resource package can provide a welcome contribution to induction and training programmes for individuals, managers and trainers working within organisations providing a range of health and social care services.
