Florina Mirescu

I was a little nervous before attending but Kirstie was very good at making me feel comfortable, she is friendly and approachable and very knowledgeable. I feel more confident about having to do breakaways and restraints. I also thought the theory side was very good, and was great at explaining the vulnerabilities of the young people and understanding what they’ve been through. You can tell that Kirstie is passionate about what she does and has genuine compassion and empathy for vulnerable young people.

FAQs

Please find our most frequently asked questions here – however, if you need any more information, please call our team on 01159 704 811

Is this course the same as MAPA or PMVA?

YES. Managing Actual or Potential Aggression (MAPA) and Preventing & Managing Violence and Aggression (PMVA) are acronyms used to describe behaviour management and physical intervention courses. We don’t use an acronym but the theory and physical skills are an equivalent and, while the individual techniques may vary, they equip staff with the same skills.

Is the training certified by Bild-ACT against the RRN Training Standards?

YES. We were one of the first organisations to gain Bild-ACT certification and were part of the CQC advisory group for the Out of Sight Who Cares? Review of Restraint, Seclusion and Segregation. We were the first commercial training provider to have an Affiliate Organisation (Train the Trainer) model approved. Even before certification became mandatory we were voluntarily accredited under the Bild PITAS scheme and code of practice for teaching physical interventions. You can view our Bild-ACT certificate here. (Insert link)

Do you have to have mandatory certified training?

Our RRN approved, Bild-ACT certified courses meet the highest national training standards for teaching physical interventions. They are not mandatory in all settings and we can offer non-certified courses that meet the needs of sectors that require shorter courses or different content. We strive to always offer high quality training and will work with you to make sure that any course we deliver meets the needs of your organisational needs.

Can this course be shortened?

If your organisation can evidence prior learning that meets Standard 2.5 of the RRN Training Standards, you can complete Level 3 as a two-day course. Prior learning may include courses such as Positive Behaviour Support, mental health, trauma-informed care and managing challenging behaviour training totalling 6 hours. Please talk to us as we will work with you to deliver the training in the way that best meets the needs of your organisation.
