Ligature Training

Ligature training

Sadly, levels of self-harm and suicide within the UK remain high and continue to increase, with numbers breaching the 6000 mark last year. Ligatures remain the most commonly used method by those wishing to end their lives.

This makes training in ligature response before an incident occurs, a vital element in ensuring their safety.

If you have a duty of care towards people who are likely to attempt to end their lives, you have a proactive duty under many pieces of legislation to have steps in place to mitigate these risks. This includes having staff trained in how to deal with incidents. (i.e. removal of ligature and the appropriate first aid training).

Our clients include;

  • Drug and Rehabilitation centres
  • Adoption and Foster care centres staff and parents
  • Residential and day care centres
  • NHS Foundation Trusts
  • Secondary Schools, Colleges and Universities
  • Police and Probation Service, Ambulance and Fire Service

For CQC assessed care venues, ligature assessments, emergency procedures and training are always an area that inspectors give particular scrutiny.

Also known as “cut down training”, our ligature training courses help you understand the injuries that you’re likely to find and how to deal with them. We cover how to deal with different ligature incident situations, which ligature cutter you should invest in, how to use a range of ligature cutters.

Until recently, alongside our bespoke courses, we also offered an Ofqual accredited course. But due to lack of popularity, the Awarding Organisation who owned the qualification have subsequently withdrawn it, making it no-longer available.
