Personal Safety & Self-Defence Training

This interactive course provides staff with practical, easy to apply techniques to protect themselves and escape safely from physical threats in the workplace. Focused on personal safety, awareness, positioning and disengagement, the course prioritises avoidance and breakaway strategies rather than confrontation.

This session covers a wide range of key topics, including:

• Situational awareness and risk reduction
• De-escalation and communication skills
• Boundary setting and personal safety positioning
• Simple, effective breakaway techniques
• Legal context for self defence

This course is suitable for lone workers and frontline staff. Course content is aligned with UK legislation and best practice, building confidence while reducing the risk of harm.
