This course is for Shropshire Council staff working in Adult Social Care Teams only. It replaces the MAPA Personal Safety at Work course offered previously and is tailored specifically for staff who do not provide direct care.
CPI Safety Intervention Foundation™ Training - Disengagement Skills (e-learning plus half day classroom based session)
This course is recommended for staff working in health and social care who need to prevent and/or intervene in crisis situations.
The course consists of two stages:
- An e-learning programme taking approximately three hours - this is self-led learning, completed at a time and place to suit the learner, followed by
- A half day instructor-led event to include disengagement skills practise.
Your place will be confirmed approximately four weeks before the event date and at that point you will also receive an email from the CPI which will include your link to the e-learning programme. Please note that the e-learning programme must be completed prior to attending the instructor-led session.
