Training Conditions For All Levels

• It is a condition of training that participants attend all scheduled sessions and start and finish times are strictly adhered to.

Unisafe covers a wide range of complex issues in terms of theoretical and physical responses. In order to ensure that each participant achieves the required level of competence it is essential that they attend all of the sessions for which they are nominated.

• Unisafe Trainers will exclude at their own discretion any participant who is considered to be undermining the safe learning of themselves or others.

Unisafe is designed to give an optimal learning opportunity. Being aggressive, macho, or “over enthusiastic” has no place in constructive training neither does behaviour that detracts from the course philosophy or is likely to interfere with others learning.

• Remember to treat other people with respect.

In order to be able to enjoy the programme (and most people do!) it is important that whilst feeling free to challenge the ideas of others, you remember to respect other participants rights and feelings.

• At no time will you be requested to share details of personal experiences with the whole group.

Learning about aggression and violence often involves reflecting on personal experience. You may be asked to share thoughts or experiences within a small group or pair, you will be able to choose how much you share and with whom.

• Participants will not give any details, which would identify another individual’s contribution to others outside the programme without that person’s expressed consent.

This does not mean that you cannot take your learning from the programme outside of the participant group, but it does mean that you should not give details of who said what to other people who were not part of your programme. It is important that everyone present can have confidence in the confidentiality of their learning experience.

If you have any other concerns about your situation please discuss them with your line manager.
