TESTIMONIALS

Just one of the happy clients who love us!

“We came on the course expecting to just learn to teach the staff across our homes the physical skills to keep themselves and others safe.

 This course has been a revelation. We are leaving with a whole new approach to promote a more positive culture in our settings and help the staff to overcome many of the challenges they encounter. We have a better understanding of not just those we care for but also tools to help the staff to better understand and apply that understanding to their day to day activities which is what is often missing.The different approaches to delivering the course, making it training that will stick in people’s heads were fantastic and Andy is incredibly knowledgeable about understanding people. This course will make us better managers as well as great trainers”

ABOUT THE EXPERT TRAINER

Andy developed a passion and interest in human behaviour after he was involved and the victim of a violent crime at the age of 16. With over 20 years of experience working in the social care sector and training in psychology, multiple psychotherapeutic disciplines and behaviour management models, Andy became inspired to educate others. His passion for improving therapeutic relationships and good practice in behaviour management for care, education, non-care and even parenting is infectious

Andy is the MD and head trainer of Able Training Support Ltd a national UKAS accredited training company, the lead external trainer for the Alzheimer's Society, the host of the celebrated ‘Able to care’ podcast, on the board of directors of the 'Institute of Conflict Management' and a key member of the health and social care committee group. He is also the author the best selling book “Targeting the positive with behaviours that challenge “.

“Andy is one of the best trainers I've had the pleasure of learning from, I always take positives from his training and implement it in the work setting. Can keep a group engaged and interested and has a brilliant sense of humour.

 Andy’s knowledge is substantial, as I move on to work with more severe challenging I'm very much look forward to working with Andy to achieve the highest standards in positive behaviour support. If I ever needed any advice regarding a service user I'd email Andy for his expert opinion.” R Woods, Care Manager

Feedback from companies who have been using the able target system over the years

We have actually seen real world, tangible improvements following the adoption of Able’s Target training package. If we look at the statistics we can see a measurable reduction in the amount of physical intervention being utilised. Compared to previous years we can see a reduction in the use of physical intervention by approximately 25% and we can see this as more than a one off but part of a trend. On speaking to staff, they feel more confident not only in the actions they take but importantly they have the confident to not take action if they don’t feel it’s appropriate. Staff feel empowered to not just follow instruction but to find the best outcome for the patient. One of the best compliments I have heard from the Security Department is the assertion that if all of our clinical colleagues could complete the same training, even just the classroom work, the Trust would see a significant reduction in the number of incidents and better outcomes for our patients. 

– W Inkson,
Security Manager for Uk General hospital Trust

We have been using Able Training for our Training for therapeutic approaches to behaviour within our children’s home for over 10 years. I can say with absolute confidence that the philosophy and approach that Andy has developed and refined over the years has helped us to overcome some of the most complex situations and support young people who initially demonstrated significant dysregulation. The use of a highly empathic and accepting approach has allowed us to help individuals whose path did not look encouraging to incredible turnarounds. The physical skills taught have helped our team to feel confident that they can keep people safe but the way they are taught mean the staff rarely need them as they have the right mindset as well as a tool kit of other strategies available first.

Childrens Home Manager

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not sure whether this is the right course for your setting as I have been told we need a certain brand of training – MAPA, CPI, TCI, Team Teach, etc. Does this course count ?

Click the link and register to enquire to access a video that explains all language and demystifies physical intervention training. It is rare that any setting must complete a certain brand of training. We strongly advise that you have a chat and we promise we will point you in the correct direction even if that isn't with us.

I want to have this training for my whole organisation. Can I have it held in-house?

We can offer this course for up to 8 staff at a time at your organisation, arrange a discovery call to explore your options.

Will I need to do refresher training?

It is mandatory to engage in a minimum of 2 day of CPD training every year for trainers. Sessions will be held throughout the year and we support you through the full process.

We don’t need the full course. I am interested in just Module 1 of the course or only aspects of the course ?

We can offer a few options, particularly supporting you in module one only and we have a number of affiliates who only deliver this element already. Send through your enquiry and we can answer all of your questions

I have done lots of different PI systems and have been training for years. Is there a mapping course available?

There is potential mapping options for trainers that have significant experience. Criteria are strict as our approach can be very different from other systems in the market and so values and approaches must align
