Conflict Management and De-Escalation Skills Training Course
We are delighted to introduce a new course for investigators and enforcement officers.
Enforcement officers are required to carry out investigations and conversations as part of their role. This work may involve situations that can lead to conflict.
It is essential that officers are aware of the potential for conflict and how to assess the risk, de-escalate it, take precautions and if it becomes necessary protect themselves in these potentially hostile situations.
This interactive 1 day course includes practical exercises, case studies and role plays.
Key learning points include:
