HOW CAN MOVAIT BENEFIT YOU?
MOVAIT has already established a reputation as a high quality program that provides a comprehensive, practical course for workers needing to deal with violent and aggressive behaviours.
Organisations introducing MOVAIT will be seen as pro-active in reducing risks of violent and aggressive incidents; patient and staff injuries; insurance and common law claims; staff vulnerability and discontent.
Staff trained in MOVAIT will acquire the skills to confidently manage violent and aggressive incidents. The intervention strategies based upon the MOVIAT Principles of humanity, caution and prudence require only minimal staff to implement, are extremely effective in immobilising the causative person, whist ensuring that dignity is maintained and reducing the possible risk of injury to all involved
The courses are tailored to match the training needs of the affected work group/s with the potential risk of violence and aggression.
