Our team developed this 1-day course in response to a number of clients - including NHS Trusts, Housing Organisations and Local Government Departments - who needed a training course which comprehensively addressed the needs of Lone Working in the Community.
Attendees come from the Home Care, Occupational Therapy, Social Work, Criminal Justice, Crisis Care, Residential Care and other sections within a variety of departments.
The training focusses on raising the awareness of staff and helping them to improve their personal safety practices.
It also enables them to confront many issues about personal safety which require thoughtful reflection, action and mature discussions about safety with managers and supervisors.

Did you know?
Dynamis has been providing this course in Lone Worker Personal Safety training to large Social Care departments for many years.
“The risks as a lone worker have increased as beds are closed, clients have to now be treated in the community when they would have been deemed in need of admission before. They therefore present more risks to lone workers. The number of clients has also increased and the staffing levels available now cannot support working in pairs to visit all clients. I do feel that the risks to staff have not been adequately assessed and will continue to increase until a dangerous situation arises which would have legal implications for my employer.”
