MINIMISING & MANAGING VIOLENCE & AGGRESSION
Specialists in the management of violence and aggression (MVA) in education
Whilst there is some great practice across education, health and social care, there are still too many services that focus on management of behaviour or risk rather than on prevention and better meeting needs. A positive and proactive approach is vital to anticipate potential triggers for behaviour that challenges, and minimise the likelihood of, or avoid the need to use, restraint.
We provide individuals with the understanding and skills to build positive relationships and defuse, prevent, reflect and learn from conflict.
MMVA - (Minimising & Managing Violence & Aggression) offers training in:
• Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
• Conflict Management / Resolution
• Physical Intervention Training
• Understanding Body Mechanics

Just finished my three day course with Andy and Zoe and having never done conflict management and physical intervention training but having knowledge on both subjects through a family member that does the same job as me I found it really interesting, informative and effective. It was never boring or draining, they could both have a laugh whilst maintaining their professionalism and they definitely worked us beyond our comfortability. Couldn’t have asked for two better instructors! Thank you!

The training was made fun and enjoyable, ensuring everyone in the room took part. This helped to make it memorable. Andy and Zoe work like a well oiled machine making everything flow and become second nature.
