D.ESCAL8™ Open Courses are as they say - ‘Open To All’
We offer these courses from our Training Hubs of West Wales, Bristol and Plymouth so that as many people as possible are able to access the benefits our training provides.
This ‘Open’ option is perfect for
- organisations with small numbers of staff
- professionals who work alone or in small teams
- sessional carers paid by direct payments
- agency workers and lone workers
- anyone who is involved with individuals who can display problem behaviours and distress.
This option also enables managers from larger organisations to experience the course and decide if it would benefit their staff. If you are coming to experience the course with this view, then you are more than welcome and will be eligible for a discount.
Our focus is on assisting carers to be compassionate, calmer and more confident when assisting individuals who are distressed. D.ESCAL8™ training will enable you to not simply appear to be calm, but actually feel calmer and more confident in your de-escalation skills, enabling you to build positive relationships with those you care for.
