CALM - Crisis, Aggression, Limitation and Management

 

Physical Intervention Instructors programme     

CALM Module 2 Physical intervention, Escape and Small Holds technique programmes can be taught in house by staff who have completed the relevant instructor programme. This offers agencies a crucial source of expertise on aggression management.

Agency strategies on aggression management often break down due to problems of support and difficulties in implementing policy and training strategies. Consequently, in addition to the development of physical competence, the Instructor programme places emphasis on helping participants to develop an understanding of the legal perspectives on restraint, and how to assist their employing agencies to effectively implement and sustain in house training programmes, to best practice standards.

Accredited Instructors can provide an important resource for managers and staff in agencies delivering services to challenging service users. CALM Training will attempt to keep Instructors informed of emergent practice, legal and social policy developments.

Participants on the instructor programmes are rigorously assessed, including an external assessment of teaching competency and a post course written paper covering aspects of legislation and best practice.

 In addition to the Instructor programme which accredits staff to deliver CALM module 2 physical interventions in house, completion of the linked CALM Associate scheme facilitates delivery of BILD accredited Module 1 CALM Theory programmes in house .

 

Instructors are required to attend an annual re acreditaion course (duration 1 day) to maintain registration as an instructor.
