Thanks for posting. I stopped working in some areas because I became disabled.........I never thought it an option to do Door Supervision as a wheelchair user?!

To be honest, there's disabled people perfectly capable of handling themselves and there's people with no specific disability that are too weak, too slow in reactions or too fat. Then there's the ones that lack in confidence and the ones that just don't know any useful techniques. The PI course is utter tripe. There needs to be a meaningful PI course, with techniques that will actually work. Trainees need to be stress tested at the end of the course to make sure they can do what is needed.
Just for the record, I know one NHS Trust put all their front line staff through a 5 day control and restraint course to deal with violent patients, there is also an annual 2 day refresher. So how can anyone possibly think that 8 hour is enough for DS.
