Why it matters – and what you need to know
Not all physical intervention training is created equal. The wrong provider doesn’t just waste time and money — it can compromise your staff’s safety, breach legal obligations, and damage your reputation.
Here’s how to choose a provider you can trust — and avoid costly mistakes:
1. Is the training legally sound?
Are your staff being taught what’s lawful, necessary, and proportionate — or just what looks impressive in roleplay?
Effective physical intervention training must align with UK legislation, including:
- Reasonable force laws
- Duty of care obligations
- Health and safety regulations
- Human rights principles
✅ At NVC Awareness, our training is rooted in law, backed by evidence, and always aligned with government and sector-specific guidance.
2. Do the trainers have real-world experience?
Are you learning from genuine professionals — or just enthusiastic amateurs?
Our team includes:
- Frontline practitioners from education, care, and criminal justice
- Expert witnesses and safeguarding leads
- Trainers with real experience in high-risk environments
They bring practical insight and professional credibility to every session.
3. What happens after the training ends?
A responsible provider doesn’t disappear once the certificates are handed out.
At NVC Awareness, we offer:
- Ongoing support
- Risk assessment guidance
- Policy development advice
- Long-term consultancy
Because building a culture of safety takes more than a one-off course.
4. Do they promote safe, ethical practice?
Training that glorifies restraint or ignores de-escalation isn’t just outdated — it’s dangerous.
We believe:
- Physical intervention is a last resort
- Responses must be proportionate and necessary
- The wellbeing of all involved is paramount
Training should empower staff to stay safe and uphold the dignity and rights of those in their care.
