Physical intervention training comes under many different names. Positive handling training, restraint training, Physical care and control training, PCC, care and control training, Control and restraint training, C&R training, PMVA. This is still not an exhaustive list. Breakaway and self defence training is vital for staff who are lone working with potentially violent clients or client families. In our training we integrate knowledge of law into a system of taught physical skills which meets Guthries definition of skill which means alll our techniques for restraint and physical intervention can be used with maximum certainty with minimum movement time and with minimal energy expenditure.
