Handcuff Instructors Course

“Training from Professionals”

McCormack Training Ltd provides a range of Conflict Management and Physical Intervention Training Programmes. These courses are based on core modules. Recent case law has shown that a lack of Physical Intervention Training could leave staff and employers at risk of harm, prosecution and substantial compensation claims. Containment and Extraction are now the way forward.
