Respect has been leading the way in training to prevent, de-escalate and manage behaviours of concern and the reduction of restrictive practice for over 20 years.
Twenty years? That’s right, for the last two decades, through our training we’ve been working against prone or face down restraint (when someone is held down on a surface and physically prevented from moving out of this position) and pain compliance (the use of pain techniques as a form of managing and understanding behaviours of concern).
We believe the individual should be at the heart of what we do and should be treated with respect irrespective of the circumstances in which they are in need of support.
And we also believe in providing professional training to ensure staff and organisations are equipped with the right skills and knowledge to ensure this happens.
That’s why we developed Respect, tailored training packages to prevent, de-escalate and manage challenging situations. A person-centred approach based on support, not control. Training that helps you understand the reasons behind individual’s behaviours of concern and provides the skills to de-escalate and manage it in the least restrictive way. Equipping individuals and organisations with the skills and knowledge needed to keep both themselves and the people in their care safe.
Used by leading mental health services provider Navigo, as well as a variety of national organisations including education, health and social care facilities, Respect is certified by the British Institute of Learning Disabilities Association of certified training (BILDACT), and the Restraint Reduction Network Training Standards.
Our goal is to work with you to create and maintain a culture of person-centred care that prevents and reduces the need for, and use of, restrictive interventions.
Respect Training was initially created to support the work of the NHS mental health services provider – Navigo.
Offering a range of mental health services from acute inpatient to community facilities, Navigo also provide specialist support and have developed income-generating, commercially viable businesses that provide training, education and employment opportunities.
What makes Respect truly unique, is that our training was initiated by Navigo service users. And they, alongside a team of experienced healthcare professionals from across Navigo came together to create the Respect training model.
A bespoke series of person-centred support techniques, skills, best practice and values we now share with other people.
