Dear Principal or Manager,

Ask Yourself:

How well are your staff equipped to cope with a violent situation?
Are they aware of what legally constitutes assault, self defence and how much force is acceptable?

This presentation aims to increase awareness and understanding of the prevention and management of aggression and creation of a non violent culture in your workplace.

Your immediate benefits include: less staff injuries, improved team work and staff morale.

All of the teaching is undertaken in a professional and caring manner and the program is designed to reinforce preventative and defensive skills with duty of care; nothing is taught in an aggressive or offensive manner.

James and his professional staff can tailor a program for your school at your convenience, after school 3 x 2 hour sessions - or, if you wish a one day professional development workshop - at your workplace or our purpose built and unique training center at Lancefield, a pleasant one hour drive from Melbourne in the beautiful Macedon Ranges.
