Creating safer, calmer services by giving your staff skills, knowledge and confidence
What is PMVA Training?
PMVA stands for Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression. This training is especially important for staff working in high-risk environments such as hospitals, care homes, mental health units, schools, and social care settings, where incidents of aggression or violence can occur.
The aim is to protect the safety and wellbeing of both staff and service users by focusing on de-escalation and safe intervention strategies. Our courses also explore the root causes of aggressive behaviour, how to recognise early warning signs, and practical communication approaches that can help prevent situations from escalating.
What to expect
The PMVA (Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression) training is built on the principle of keeping both staff and service users safe. It’s not just a tick-box exercise for compliance, we are about equipping your workforce with practical skills that make a real difference in high-pressure environments.
The training focuses on
Reducing Restrictive Interventions
Reducing restrictive interventions is about using organisational strategies, policies, and staff training to limit the need for actions that restrict a person’s freedom, movement, or choices in care settings. While there are situations where such interventions may be necessary to prevent immediate harm, they should only ever be used as a last resort.
Restrictive interventions are deliberate measures, such as physical restraint, the use of medication (chemical restraint), seclusion, or environmental controls that reduce an individual’s liberty, independence, or ability to make personal choices.
