markdawes Some of you may be experiencing problems in being able to get a PI (Physical Intervention) Trainer Refresher Course.
Or you may be fed up with the restrictive license conditions imposed by your training provider that you are bound by (which may be costing you lost business opportunities, wasted time and money).
In 1977 I was a 17 year-old Royal Navy trainee with only six months service based at Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose (HMS Seahawk) in Cornwall (not Devon Lofty!).
I recently had a conversation with someone who told me that their wife is having to have her neck surgically re-built with bone taken from other parts of her body.
The injury was caused by an eight-year-old child violently pulling the member of staff’s hair causing the person’s head to jerk back violently.
Why The Term ‘Least Restrictive’ Has Nothing To Do With Physical or Mechanical Restraint
Every now and then I hear someone stating things like “Staff must use the least restrictive method when restraining a patient” etc.
This is another question I regularly get asked.
These are questions I constantly get asked.
So, what does PMVA mean?
Who would be liable for giving illegal information and instruction (with regards to physical intervention, self-defence, handcuffing, etc.)?
This is a message I received yesterday from someone who recently attended our BTEC Level 3 Self-Defence Instructor Award Course – https://nfps.info/self-defence-trainer-training-2022/
This is a testimonial that I received by email yesterday.
It’s from a person called Danielle who has trained with us recently.
It was lovely to receive such a thoughtful testimonial because it highlights why we are so different to so many other training providers out there.
