Dynamis Lone Worker / Personal Safety 1-DAY COURSE
1 Day Training Course for Community-Based Lone WorkersOur team developed this 1-day course in response to a number of clients - including NHS Trusts, Local Authority Health & Social Care Departments and Housing Organisations - who needed a training course which comprehensively addressed the needs of Personal Safety for Lone Workers.
Attendees come from the Home Care, Occupational Therapy, Social Work, Criminal Justice, Crisis Care, Residential Care and other sections.
The training focusses on raising the awareness of staff and helping them to improve their personal safety practices. It also enables them to confront many issues about personal safety which require thoughtful reflection, action and mature discussions about safety with managers and supervisors.
Learning OutcomesYour staff will be able to:
✔ National-level guidance in the sector (from the NHS, the HSE and other bodies) for the safe management of lone workers.
✔ Understand and use a stress-based model of aggression and dealing with challenging behaviours.
✔ Practical ways - including modern, researched techniques - for enhancing personal safety in confined spaces using subtle body language and barrier signals.
✔ Health and Safety provisions for managing safety in the workplace (Duty of Care) to Detect and Avoid dangerous occurrences.
✔ Legal rules on the use of force in self-defence, only when absolutely necessary.
“The risks as a lone worker have increased as beds are closed, clients have to now be treated in the community when they would have been deemed in need of admission before. They therefore present more risks to lone workers. The number of clients has also increased and the staffing levels available now cannot support working in pairs to visit all clients. I do feel that the risks to staff have not been adequately assessed and will continue to increase until a dangerous situation arises which would have legal implications for my employer.”

DYNAMIS CUSTOMISED COURSESWe are often asked by clients to develop specific customised courses to deal with the exact nature of the problems they face in their work.
Our trainers have wide experience in designing and developing customised conflict management, physical intervention and personal safety courses for a variety of clients in a range of sectors.
Examples of discrete projects which are well-inside the scope of our knowledge and expertise are as follows:

COURSE HOSTING REQUIREMENTS‣ Training Area:Typical physical skills training will require an area large enough for the training group to move around in safely! It should have all obstructions and floor furniture removed so that we don't bump into things - slips trips and falls account for the large proportion of injuries in the workplace. An area 6m x 9m (the dimensions of a squash court) is typically suitable for a group of up to 12 staff if it is completely clear of any hazards.
‣ TimingWe normally suggest a start time of 0930, finishing at approximately 1600 on each day. Let us know if you need us to start or finish early.
‣ Display EquipmentWe request that you please provide a digital projector or flatscreen TV to assist your trainer to provide our customised presentations to your team. If necessary we can bring a projector - just let us know!
‣ Note-Taking and AssessmentAll staff are *strongly* recommended to bring note-taking materials - a notebook and pen - in order to take the full benefit of this course. All staff may be required to complete a student learning log during the course to facilitate assessment.
‣ Medical: All delegates will be required to complete a medical questionnaire prior to commencing the course. All injuries, past and present, must be disclosed, including any medication currently prescribed and / or being taken.
‣ Clothing:Delegates are asked to ensure that they bring and wear adequate training kit for the duration of the course including; long tracksuit bottoms, appropriate training shoes, etc. Examples of inappropriate clothing would include: any form of open-toed shoes / sandals, footwear with heels, skirts / dresses, shorts, low-cut tops, etc.
Failure to attend training sessions in safe and appropriate clothing or footwear could result in being excluded from the training, due to risk.
‣ Jewellery: For personal safety reasons ALL jewellery must be removed prior to any training commencing. Where an item of jewellery cannot be removed (i.e. wedding rings) it may be required to be covered, dependent on its construction and style.
‣ Timekeeping:Our courses tend to be under time pressure. Therefore, delegates are asked to ensure that they are on time for each session so that others are not waiting unnecessarily and that the course finishing time can be adhered to.
‣ Cancellation:We are always disappointed for our clients when they need to cancel for reasons outwith their control. However it can have serious effects on our business, too! We think the fairest response for everyone is to invoice you for 50% of the training you originally booked, plus any travel expenses we had already incurred. This applies to courses cancelled within 4 weeks of the start date. Before then, we will just reschedule!
