22/23 CPI Safety Intervention Foundation Refresher Training (Formerly MAPA)

This training incorporates trauma-informed and person-centred approaches. The focus is on prevention and/or intervention to higher risk situations. This includes breaking up fights, leading or guiding away from dangerous situations as well as other interventions required in the interest of student and staff safety. Focus on de-escalation skills, non-restrictive and restrictive interventions.
