"Physical intervention training sends the wrong message."

It's something we hear now and then, and we understand where it comes from.

But here's the thing: the HSE is clear that wherever there's a serious risk of physical aggression in the workplace, physical intervention training may be required. For a lot of roles - healthcare, ambulance services, education, security, probation - that risk is already documented and foreseeable.

370,000 physical assaults on UK workers last year. Many of those staff had no physical intervention training. Not because the risk wasn't foreseeable, but because someone decided it sent the wrong message.

We'd argue leaving staff unprepared sends a worse one.

In our latest article, we break down what the law actually requires, what good physical intervention training looks like (hint: it's not what most people picture), and the one question we ask every organisation still on the fence.
