What people say about this course
A well-presented course on handling conflict in the job. The trainers dealt very well with identifying the early warning signs which may precede physical assault and danger signs indicating when an assault may be imminent. They provided practical guidance on how best to diffuse fraught situations. The whole course was pitched at just the right level. A very worthwhile & informative course.
