PMVA / Physical Intervention courses
Working with some people who have a learning disability or who are mentally unwell can be challenging, and staff may be required to physically intervene to keep the individual, others or themselves safe. The courses on offer help staff to work in a consistent, legal and professional manner to defuse and prevent aggression or manage it in the safest way possible with concern for the individual’s well-being at the heart of all interventions.
Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression (PMVA)
MAV Consultancy has designed its PMVA / physical intervention courses to mirror the syllabus suggested in the Department of Health, Skills for Health, a positive and proactive workforce: “A guide to workforce development for commissioners and employers seeking to minimise the use of restrictive practices in social care and health" (Skills for care & skills for health 2014). The 3 day courses are BILD Restraint Reduction Network Certified Courses. Which are a requirement for many Nursing Agencies and Mental Health Hospitals.
Understanding service user / customer needs and learning skills to prevent and defuse aggression and violence is core to the training, with staff learning a graded approach to the application of physical interventions dependent on the level of aggression / violence presented.
MAV Consultancy is a provider of the General Services Association (GSA) model of physical intervention techniques which have been risk assessed and tested for their effectiveness, safety and ease of learning. They are also compatible with a number of other systems of physical intervention and have concern for the safety of the service user and staff central to their design.
MAV Consultancy Ltd is a founder member of PBS General Services which has been set up as a cooperative of independent trainers who worked together to develop & meet the BILD Restraint Reduction Certification requirements. The primary aim of PBS General Services RRN Certified courses is that they are valued by commissioning organisations, influence participants to have positive attitudes towards aggressive & challenging service users with a focus on restraint reduction best practice and are acceptable to service users and carers.
MAV Consultancy provides a three day PMVA PBS GS BILD RRN Certified course using the GSA model of physical intervention techniques.
A one day refresher course is also available for people that have previously undertaken GSA training and are refreshing their skills and builds on the skill and knowledge they already have. (this course is not BILD RRN Certified)
