’This training day was really useful & enjoyable for our team. It taught us how to deal with potentially challenging behaviour from people in both face-to-face situations and over the telephone. It will help equip my staff with practical skills to enable them to spot danger signs and to take a planned and practised approach to volatile situations.’
– Community Medical Department, HSE
‘The training provided was excellent. The trainer was able to keep all staff engaged and motivated throughout the day. All content was relevant to our settings. The feedback from staff was very positive. I feel we gained useful skills and the course allowed staff time to reflect and all questions were answered by the trainer in an effective manner.’
