Pearson BTEC Level 2 Award in Disengagement and Non-restrictive Physical Intervention Skills
This qualification is designed to provide training for people who may need to use physical intervention skills in the workplace to deal with people who display ‘challenging’ behaviour.
It is aimed at people who have already taken some form of conflict management training (involving non-physical ways of managing and avoiding conflict), but whose job roles mean that they also need training in disengagement and non-restrictive physical intervention skills.
Techniques range from the non-restrictive (for low-level challenging behaviour) to the restrictive (for higher- level challenging, aggressive or violent behaviour). The units offered include disengagement and non-restrictive physical intervention methods, and restrictive physical intervention methods.
