Why is this online Handling Violence and Aggression training course relevant?

NHS Trusts and other providers of healthcare and social care services must provide a safe and secure environment for patients/service users, members of staff and visitors. Violent or abusive behaviour must not be tolerated, and decisive action should be taken to protect staff, patients/service users and visitors.

Ideally, no-one should face aggression or violence in the workplace, but in reality, many people do. For some, it will be an occasional hazard they face, while for others, it can be a more or less daily occurrence. Regardless of the frequency with which the issues arise, we all have to take the necessary safeguards to minimise the:

  1. likelihood of problems arising,
  2. risks involved when they do occur, and
  3. potentially very negative impact on us.

There are no guarantees that aggression and violence will not occur, but there are steps we can take to reduce the chances. Having a sense of control can also help to make dealing with the risks a less stressful experience than it might otherwise turn out to be. What is perhaps the most dangerous approach to take is to assume that ‘it will never happen to me’. We owe it to ourselves and to each other as colleagues to do whatever we reasonably can to keep the risks to a minimum and to be as prepared as we reasonably can for all the possible eventualities.
