RESTRAINT AND BREAKAWAY INSTRUCTOR

To achieve the BTEC Level 3 Advanced award in Physical Restraint each individual will be expected to:

1.     Describe the rights and restrictions imposed by UK statute and common law in relation to physical restraint.

2.    Outline the rights and restrictions imposed by Children's legislation in relation to physical restraint.

3.     Apply the requirements of Health and Safety statute and associated Regulations and show how they apply to physical restraint, including how to teach safely, including assessing the training environment for risk and the appropriate use of training safety briefs consistent with the risk assessment regulations, and how to train staff in correct posture and positioning consistent with the manual handling regulations.

4.     Identify and explain the risks associated with physical restraint and describe how to minimise those risks, including the risk of positional asphyxia and the risks associated with alcohol, drugs and edged weapons.

5.     Explain and apply holding, prompting, escorting and restraining and non-harmful seated restraint techniques.

6.     Demonstrate and explain how to gradually de-escalate and relax restraint to allow the subject being restrained to regain self-control.

7.      Understand the risk of violence associated with alcohol and drugs, knives and other forms of edged weapons.

8.     Differentiate between non-harmful methods of control and more restrictive methods of control and when the use of such methods would be considered appropriate.

9.     Demonstrate and instruct simple yet appropriate and effective Breakaway and Disengagement techniques from a range of foreseeable risks.

The NFPS/BTEC course uses UK legal standards as a fundamental base, giving trainers who use it the confidence that they can offer their clients possibly the best risk-reduction information of any training course on the market.  

Organisations in the Social Care, Security and Mental Health sectors are increasingly adopting the NFPS/BTEC Physical Intervention programme.  As a fully evidence-based and cost-effective programme of training, it has become popular as a competitive alternative to other restraint training.
