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™ Refresher Training - Disengagement Skills only
Staff are required to attend CPI Safety Intervention Foundation™ Refresher training on an annual basis to refresh their knowledge and skills. Please apply for this course if your current CPI Safety Intervention Foundation™ certificate is approaching expiry. The course dates are open to all staff requiring CPI Safety Intervention Foundation™ training, but those attending on a refresher basis will not be required to complete additional self-led online learning (e-learning).

Your place will be confirmed approximately four weeks before the event date.
