Learning Nexus develops a new range of e-learning courses to focus on Personal Safety
Learning Nexus, in line with guidance and advice from the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, has created a range of Personal Safety courses that are engaging, interactive and advice driven, designed to help employers keep 'at risk' employees safe and aware of potentially distressing situations.
Within every occupation, there may potentially be a small element of risk. One never knows when/if it may happen, but one in five people are attacked or abused every year just for doing their job, and understanding how to recognise precarious situations is an essential component of personal safety within each respective workplace.
Many people have jobs where they are required to work alone and without direct supervision, sometimes requiring them to work in other people’s homes or in other people’s premises - examples include social workers, community nurses, home helps, sales representatives and estate agents – and the absence of immediate help or assistance creates significant risk. Sadly, for a variety of reasons, each day sees many people in these occupations subject to either verbal or physical violence or aggression.
For this reason, Learning Nexus has developed this range of Personal Safety courses to make sure that 'at risk' employees can know how to recognise and deal with potentially distressing situations.
