Violence and aggression is a significant issue in health and social care settings. In 2021, there were over 100,000 reported incidents of violence and aggression against health and social care staff in England. This can have a devastating impact on staff, patients, and service users.

In response to this, the government has introduced new legislation requiring all health and social care staff who are placed in mental health trusts or private service providers who provide care for individuals with some form of mental illness, learning disability, dementia or autism to receive Bild ACT and RRN approved training in the Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression (PMVA).

This PMVA training is designed to help staff to understand the causes of violence and aggression, how to identify the signs of potential violence, and how to safely manage incidents of violence and aggression. It also covers the legal and ethical aspects of violence and aggression management.

There are a number of providers of Bild ACT and RRN approved PMVA training. When choosing a provider for PMVA training, it is important to consider the following factors:

  • The provider's experience in delivering training, including PMVA training, to health and social care staff.
  • The provider's use of evidence-based methods.
  • The provider's commitment to quality assurance.
  • The provider's flexibility in meeting the needs of your organisation.

If you are a health or social care business, it is important to ensure that your staff receive Bild ACT and RRN approved PMVA training. This PMVA training will help to keep your staff safe, and it will also help to improve the quality of care that you provide to your patients and service users.

Here are some of the benefits of delivering Bild ACT and RRN approved PMVA training for health and social care businesses:

  • It can help to reduce the risk of violence and aggression.
  • It can help staff to feel more confident and prepared to deal with incidents of violence and aggression.
  • It can help to improve the quality of care that is provided to patients and service users.
  • It can help to reduce the stress and anxiety experienced by staff.
  • It can help to create a more positive and supportive working environment.

If you are a health or social care business, I encourage you to consider delivering ACI Training & Consultancy's Bild ACT and RRN approved PMVA training in affiliation with Timian Learning & Development Ltd., to your staff. It is an investment that will pay for itself in terms of improved safety, quality of care, and staff well-being.
