Find out about virtual attendance.
Violence, aggression, challenging and disruptive behaviour are problems encountered by many organisations with some managing the issues better than others. The aim of this one-day virtual Conference is to share best practice, explain how to reduce the use of force and restrictive interventions, improve safety, and minimise the risk of harm to everyone involved.
Learn from leading experts from the UK, USA, Israel and Australia to help ensure that your service keeps abreast of best practice and maintains safety in this complex area where legislation, guidance and policy frequently change and often collide.
