Benefits of De-escalation & OVA Training with Resolution Education
Comprehensive De-escalation & OVA Training for Emergency Services
De-escalation & OVA Training in Emergency Services
Emergency services workers tend to face many life-threatening situations, often on a daily basis. In their high-pressure roles, dealing with altercations with aggressive people can be not only tedious, but highly dangerous. It is therefore a major benefit to emergency services workers to be armed with the skills to de-escalate a situation and resolve conflict. This helps them to keep themselves and those around them safe.
Aggressive situations may be physical, verbal, or both. In any case, it’s vital that emergency services workers know how to safely handle them when they occur. We believe that all employees deserve to feel safe and know how to protect themselves. Resolution Education teaches not only how to deal with altercations, but how to reduce the risk of them occurring in the first place. This keeps staff confident and gives them peace of mind, allowing them to feel safer while working and do their job better.
We’ve trained:
- Police Officers
- Ambulance Officers
- Fire and Rescue Officers
- SES Workers
- St John Ambulance
- Security Workers
- Correctional Staff
- Surf Life Savers
Within the emergency services industry, staff often deal with people who may be injured and in pain, under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol, or otherwise experiencing high stress and panic. They may also face barriers when communicating, such as cultural/language barriers, or mental or physical illnesses making clear communication difficult. This means altercations can occur quite easily, and it’s extremely important for staff to know how to de-escalate a situation and keep the people they are assisting calm.
Resolution Education’s experience across industries gives us the ability to train your organisation regardless of the operations of your team, and the types of altercations that may be common. We are industry leaders in resolution training and work with organisations of all sizes in all industries. The high-pressure and fast-paced environment of emergency services is no different. We are confident that our training can significantly improve the level of safety of your staff. The organisations we train become safer workplaces, in which staff and the public have a reduced level of risk.
