Physical Intervention and De-escalation Train the Trainer Training

Description

This training is crucial to enable staff to keep vulnerable young people and staff safe in emergency situations. PRICE (Protecting Rights In a Caring Environment Ltd) are part of the restraint reduction network which enables them to focus on escalation as well as the techniques to use when needing to physically restrain. Their model of work is backed up by research and biomechanics from the university of Worcester. PRICE have worked with ECC to embed the trauma informed practice into the training. PRICE offers a train the trainer model which we use in Essex to ensure best value for money to ECC. We train 10 trainers across C&F, ASC and internal residential homes to be trainers, each year they need a refresher. These trainers will the cascade the training to our staff who need it in the service areas. For example, our Residential trainers will then ensure the 110 staff across the service are trained. This inhouse training then does not incur any further costs to ECC and works to look at the immediate needs of the service and young people to ensure everyone is kept safe. These trainers receive a yearly update (which is what the waiver is for) and this ensures they are up to date on any changes, legal frameworks and keeping their knowledge and skills evaluated by PRICE as the overseeing body.
