Key Features of the Training

Safety Intervention ™ Foundation training incorporates trauma-informed and person-centred approaches. It is recommended for professionals who work in environments that require restrictive or physical intervention techniques. Participants will engage with seven modules and practical skills, including safety intervention & disengagement skills.

Essentially, we have taken the term MAPA ® which was used to describe the full curriculum and divided it into two distinct programmes:

Recognise & Respond to Crisis Behaviour

The programme includes all of the elements included in the Verbal Intervention ™ Starting with these previous skills you learn simple behaviour assessment and decision-making skills to ensure escalation is avoided.

When faced with a behavioural crisis that places staff or others at risk of injury, you learn how to focus on the least-restrictive physical intervention to ensure the Care, Welfare, Safety, and Security SM of those you support.
