How will a PMVA certificate help me?

At Specialised Training, we offer a range of courses ideal for those in the care home and educational sector, especially dealing with aggressive or challenging behaviour and conflict. One specific course we offer is the PMVA or a Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression certificate, and it is also one of our most popular, but why is this?

A PMVA can give you skills and knowledge, for any role

Having a Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression certificate gives you relevant skills and a greater understanding of how to prevent, manage, and de-escalate situations. You’ll learn effective strategies for ensuring the safety of yourself, your colleagues, and the individuals you are caring for. Aggressive behaviour can be displayed by anyone of any age, from those you care for, or from colleagues you work with. By having this training, you are adding to the environment in which you work, ensuring it is more secure and supportive.

Compliance and confidence

In certain sectors, such as healthcare or social care, having a PMVA certificate may be a regulatory requirement. Obtaining the certification ensures that you meet industry standards. It is also important to ensure that any actions you do take are within established guidelines, in an ethical and lawful manner.

Our PMVA training also emphasises alternatives to physical restraint, promoting non-physical interventions and reducing the need for restrictive measures, looking to restore a sense of calm.

PMVA skills for you and your workforce

Completing this course can promote teamwork but it can also reflect upon your workplace or business, by offering a higher standard of care. It can show a commitment to allowing professional development and a deeper understanding of the needs of your patients, students, and work colleagues.

Having the confidence to approach such situations with defence strategies and intervention skills will give you a proactive response and help to bring about a safe resolution. Often, we work with training scenarios and collaborating. We find this will help promote teamwork and contribute to a more supportive workplace.
