Lone Worker and Personal Safety Training

Some roles require staff to work alone or interact with members of the public without immediate support nearby. Domestic visits are always a concern as they can escalate quickly and sometimes without any past difficulties. This practical course provides participants with strategies to improve personal safety and confidently manage challenging or unpredictable environments. Participants discover how to assess risks and respond appropriately when concerns arise. The session focuses on prevention and preparation to help staff stay safe while carrying out their duties. Participants will also explore realistic strategies for planning visits and knowing when to pause or safely exit a situation. The course doesn’t want to cause unnecessary duress but does discuss things that could occur: Carjacking, Car Following, Standover, Group Anger, Blocked in Parking, Family Covering Exits.
