3. Therapeutic management of violence and aggression training (TMVA)

Alas Health Care attaches great importance to the health, safety and welfare of its staff and service users. It is for this reason that staff are trained in techniques to manage episode of violence, aggression, and challenging behaviour.

 

Staff who care for or who are in regular contact with service users may place themselves and others at risk if they are not appropriately trained. It is for this reason that as part of a member of staff’s terms and conditions of employment they can undergo this training.

 

TMVA incorporates a number of elements which have physical requirements, to include breakaway and physical intervention/restraint training.

 

Breakaway training is where staff are trained to breakaway/disengage from a potentially threatening or actual threatening behaviour by using a skill to separate or disengage in a safe manner. To be able to complete the physical element of this course all staff must be able to walk around the perimeter of a large training area, unaided and at a comfortable pace. All staff must have a good and pain free range of motion at all main joints of the body and must also be able to take hold and maintain a fully engaged grip with both hands. This training is for staff who do and do not work directly with patient care.

 

Physical Intervention/Restraint is a skilled hands-on method of physical restraint involving trained designated staff to prevent services users from harming themselves, endangering others or seriously compromising the therapeutic environment. Its purpose is to safely immobilise the individual concerned for the shortest possible time. To be able to complete the physical element of this course all staff must be able to walk around the perimeter of a large training area, unaided and at a comfortable pace. All staff must have a good and pain free range of motion at all main joints of the body and must also be able to take hold and maintain a fully engaged grip with both hands. Staff must be able to kneel on the floor on either leg and thereafter lie down on the floor and return to a standing position unaided. Staff may be required to perform the above movements on several occasions and on occasion for prolonged periods during the training. This training is for those staff engaged in direct patient care.
