I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their ability to prevent and respond to aggression in a professional setting.’

Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust

‘Sam was very approachable and communicated very well. He provided extensive knowledge specific to our job roles and answered every question in detail. He made the training very engaging and I left the session feeling very confident for my new role and empowered to protect my personal safety at work. Great training!’

LUSH

‘Feedback following the recent de-escalation: We had a couple of unpleasant incidents take place in Oxford Street over the weekend and the way the team dealt with it at the moment was honestly faultless! There was no confusion or lack of confidence, a supervisor approached the challenging individuals and calmly asked them to leave the store, afterwards the whole team checked in with each other and it didn’t impact the day whatsoever.’

Tim Hanwell

‘Great day of de-escalation and breakaway training from Tim at IKON Training yesterday. Tim was very knowledgeable in mental health and, along with giving us the physical skills we hope to never need, provided thought provoking conversation and insight, personal experience and of course, laughter. Tim is one of life’s good guys and I hope to cross paths again in the future.’

Sam our trainer was brilliant! answered every question we had and kept us all entertained! the time flew by! All round good session, thanks!’

Sam Cherubin

‘Sam was an excellent communicator, very engaging and made the training feel relaxed and fun.
