Thanks to Nicola Sproule and Mark Sproule for putting together another amazing day.

Good morning from Wolverhampton, today is PMVA (Restraint) training with care professionals dealing with children and vulnerable adults.

Sundays becoming a regular work day for me now

The new guidelines are coming into effect soon, are you upto date with the newest Resuscitation Council alterations?
We are, so lets get together and have a chat

Behaviour is communication.
In moments of heightened emotion, restraint should never be the first response.
Effective de-escalation skills help staff recognise triggers, reduce risk, and support children to regain control before a situation escalates further.
When we prioritise calm communication, space, and understanding, we protect everyone — and teach young people safer ways to manage big emotions.
Restraint is a last resort. De-escalation is a skill.

This is why we are doing it,

And in just Merseyside alone, this needs to end.

While it does not, we will help where we can.

…and with our latest Paediatric Emergency First Aid course complete, we’re officially done for 2025 — what an amazing end to a truly fabulous year.
This has been our busiest year yet on our training journey, delivering almost 25% more hours than the previous year.
We’ve built new business connections, added new skills, offered a wider variation of training courses, and — most importantly — made a huge number of new friends along the way.
Even during our busiest periods, we’ve juggled workloads to ensure we always deliver the very best training to those who trust us to do so, we’ve continued running our judo club with almost 50 children on the register, carrying out belt gradings and competitions to fight in (our club Christmas competition was so good!), starting the soft play area in the dojo, and working with the teams at Everton and Liverpool on match days to ensure safeguarding and fan safety.
Through it all — every day, week, and month — the single most important thing has remained family time and making memories together. Because that’s why we do what we do.
To ensure our children have better lives than we did.
I must say, aside from the people we’ve sadly lost, I wouldn’t change a single thing. I feel truly honoured to do this job, and knowing that we’re helping to make a positive difference in so many children’s lives up and down the country helps me sleep a little easier at night.
I can’t wait to see how 2026 pans out. I’ll be working with my nephew and his clothing printing company to offer even more services to the public — and I have a feeling it’s going to be even better than this year.
If you want to join us on this journey, reach out and say hello. We can grab a coffee — I’ll even pay! 😂

This week I returned to work with a great team carrying out restraint training on behalf of Safer Handling in Derby, lots of questions and scenario based ideas to work on, and how to deal with them when they arise, and of course always in the best way to ensure the child's best interests come first.
See you all again next year and thanks for having me ✋🏼❤️
