The ConflictPro Conference, sponsored by Edexcel, covers violence risk management, employers’ guidance on physical interventions, post incident measures and trainer qualifications.
Organisers report that it’s aimed at practitioners, managers, trainers and consultants involved in managing conflict at work. Security, licensed retail, healthcare and local authority are represented in the programme.
The conference runs on September 27 at the Clifford Chance auditorium, Canary Wharf, London.
Rick Tucker of Security Management Services is hosting the opening plenary, outlining violence in health and care. The day continues with a masterclasses and discussion forums, covering subjects from weapons awareness and concealment, to litigation – how can you protect yourself in a compensation culture? – and compensation judgements and research findings in work related violence.
Contributions from Chubb UK, Life long Learning UK, Colonel Jorge Mendoca and Judith Schubert of Crisis Prevention Institute, are included.
What they say
Mark Jenner, general manager at ConflictPro said: “We believe we have put together a programme that will stimulate and challenge delegates’ thinking on a range of conflict management and training issues. Because the Conference has cross sector appeal it provides a unique opportunity to share experiences and learning across all sectors.”
