Who it is for

Security teams, door and venue staff, and anyone whose role brings them into contact with difficult or aggressive members of the public. It suits organisations that want a consistent, defensible approach to handling conflict across their workforce. The course can also form part of a wider programme on responding to violence at work.

Ex-police trainers

Endorsed and accredited

The model your people will use

The course is built around a model and strategy that describes the phases of an incident of difficult or aggressive behaviour. Delegates learn the model, apply it to incidents they have already experienced, and then rehearse using it on the kinds of situations they are likely to meet in future.

The result is a safe and empowering method that lets staff take charge of a situation rather than react to it, and ultimately de-escalate the behaviour being displayed. These dealing with people skills are essential for anyone who works for, with or is responsible to others.

Questions

Is conflict resolution training a legal requirement?

There is no single law that names it, but employers have a duty under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 to assess and control the risk of violence and aggression to staff. Conflict resolution training is one of the most common control measures and is expected in sectors such as security, retail, transport and public services.

Does this course count towards an SIA licence?

Not on its own. SIA licence linked qualifications for door supervisors and security guards already include a conflict management unit. This course goes further and is designed for whole teams, including staff who do not need an SIA licence.

Can the course be tailored to our incidents?

Yes. A core part of the course is reflecting on incidents your people have actually experienced and applying the model to them, so the content is grounded in your working environment.

How often should staff refresh their conflict resolution training?

there is no fixed national rule. Many employers refresh every 2 to 3 years, or sooner after a serious incident or a change in role.
