What Professionals Are Saying About CPI's Nonviolent Crisis InterventionSM Training Programme:

"CPI's Nonviolent Crisis InterventionSM programme has helped improve the consistency of staff response and reaction, and the implementation of philosophy, policy, and practice has increased internal support of staff when dealing with an incident. In addition, we have observed a radical reduction in incidents of staff utilising restraint as well as a noticeable increase in positive tutor/pupil verbal engagement."

Colin Frost, Senior Tutor
New Horizon Centre School

"An excellent course, very valuable and very relevant to classroom practice. Excellent emphasis on safety, care and welfare of child at heart of all procedures."

Catherine Garrud, Teacher
St. Anne’s School

"We have implemented the Nonviolent Crisis InterventionSM course and are actually seeing a reduction in incidents which is very gratifying in terms of not only reducing the number of incidents, but also in that better relationships are being developed between the clients and the staff. They are also much more responsive to those subtle and early changes in people's behaviour and they are able to use other less restrictive alternatives by way of prevention."

Luke Perry, Behavioural Support Specialist
Milbury Care Services
Oxfordshire

"The programme has been the most structured and detailed course I have been in. I have learnt valuable techniques and knowledge not alone for my workplace but also for my personal life."

Anne McCarthy, Staff Nurse
St. John's Hospital

"The content of this course was practical, useable, relevant, and easy to follow. The systematic approach used made learning enjoyable and interesting. The course equipped me with the skills needed to recognise the signs of anxiety and pending disruption thus enabling me to defuse potential explosive situations. An excellent course worth attending."

Con Dennehy, Supervisor
Breannan Enterprises

"Kare is an organisation which provides community-based services for people with an intellectual disability. In our organisation we have learnt that CPI is not just about Nonviolent Physical Crisis InterventionSM but more importantly about prevention of crisis through early intervention. It is about learning to behave in ways that reduce arousal levels and therefore prevent the crisis occurring. The course provides a common language to understand and review crisis situations."
