ABOUT

Failing to deal with violence at work or aggression in the workplace results in problems for staff and you have a legal duty to protect your staff from this.

If you or your staff have to deal with people who do not get what they want, you will know how they can soon show their anger and become aggressive. Not getting what they want or simply having to wait are just two reasons why people change from being calm to aggression.

Handling violence and aggression in the workplace is easier when you know what to do. Our course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to deal with these situations.

We train the police, local authorities and companies to effectively deal with aggression in the workplace.

Salespeople, estate agents, planning officers, social workers, benefit officers, receptionists and others who have to meet people are particularly vulnerable. Our Handling Aggression at Work training course covers a number of safety measures they can take.

The knowledge and confidence participants gain on this course, will help reduce any anger and aggression they encounter.

Dealing with angry people is not easy, but knowing what to do and say can save injury and improve customer relations.

WHO WILL BENEFIT

All staff liable to be in contact with difficult, aggressive or violent people.
