Dealing with Violence & Aggression

Help your staff effectively deal with violence and aggression that they may face in their role.

Training to help manage violent and aggressive situations at work

Your workplace should be a safe space. No one should have to deal with violence and aggression in their work. But there can be times when you may encounter what is termed a ‘difficult’ person. Someone who feels they need to shout or act in an aggressive manner to achieve their goal. An inappropriate response can further aggravate the situation or result in someone suffering injury through no fault of their own. And that is exactly what we want to prevent. 

Our training teaches proven skills and techniques to build confidence and help you to work professionally and assertively when dealing with difficult or challenging people.  You’ll become familiar with procedures which must be adhered to in order to ensure both a duty of care for yourself and the difficult or aggressive party.

Quell provided lone worker training for experienced homeless services’ workers from Dublin City Council and Housing First. The training was tailored for the level of experience of staff and we received very positive feedback from all who attended. The suggestions and follow-up provided to management after the training was particularly useful.
