Course Description
At The Mandt System, everything we do is rooted in our belief that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. That’s why we have developed our Enhanced Safety Program, which provides additional training and resources to help your staff handle even the most challenging situations. This course is designed to meet the unique needs of organisations that cannot be covered by our Relational, Conceptual, or Technical level of training. Additionally, the specific training covered in this course will be determined by a training needs assessment and gathered organisational data. Our team will then take this information to craft an evidence-based training program tailored to meet the needs of your specific organisation.
The Enhanced Safety training course focuses on the concept that every person has the right to a personal identity and the least restrictive environment possible. This course emphasises the use of physical interaction only when absolutely necessary to ensure the safety of your staff and the individuals they serve. Through this course, your staff will learn how to employ safe and effective grounding and restraint techniques, as determined by our training needs assessment. All techniques taught in this course have been rigorously tested and prioritise maintaining safety for all involved. These techniques should only be used when all other options have been exhausted.
The Conceptual Library
The Conceptual Chapters are now included at every level at no additional cost. We have developed the Conceptual Library to provide additional online resources and to enhance understanding of key topics such as the importance of trauma-informed services and Positive Behaviour Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Instructors training in the Mandt System can add the Conceptual Module to their certification by completing the eLearning courses after completing their instructor certification.
Who Is This Course for?
This course was specifically designed to help organisations that encounter situations where aggressive behaviour and violence exceed the training addressed in the Advanced course. The Enhanced Safety course is ideal for teams who require more specialised skills to manage high-risk situations safely and effectively. Your team will learn advanced techniques to handle extreme cases, ensuring that the overall safety of both staff and individuals served is maintained.
