The All Wales NHS Violence and Aggression Passport sets consistent, portable standards so staff can recognise risks early, de escalate confidently and use safe breakaway techniques when required, with the framework structured around three core modules A, B and C.
At ACI Training & Consultancy, we deliver a blended route that mirrors common practice in Wales - online theory first, then focused face to face skills - helping you minimise rota disruption while meeting the expected learning outcomes.

What the All Wales NHS Violence and Aggression Passport covers
Module A: Induction and awareness
Clear definitions, prevalence and impact of violence and aggression, legal responsibilities for employers and employees, local policies, reporting processes, and early warning signs and trigger factors.
Module B: Personal safety and de escalation theory
Situational awareness, risk factors and escalation cycles, verbal and non verbal de escalation methods, and communication techniques that reduce the likelihood and severity of incidents.
Module C: Breakaway skills - practical
Safe disengagement from common holds and grabs, working distance and positioning, effective use of personal alarms and a strong emphasis on reasonable force and personal safety throughout. Assessment focuses on release techniques and safe disengagement.
How ACI Training & Consultancy delivers the programme
Step 1: Online theory for Modules A and B
Your team completes the theory online to standardise knowledge before practice. In Wales, e learning for Modules A and B is widely available for NHS staff which supports a blended approach.
Step 2: One day, face to face practical for Module C
A focused practical day to rehearse breakaway, movement and positioning, personal safety routines and scenario based decision making relevant to your setting. This mirrors the way many Welsh providers structure V and A Passport delivery - theory first then practical skills.

On successful completion, delegates receive certificates aligned to the All Wales NHS Violence and Aggression Passport, giving managers clear evidence for audit, inspection and tender requirements.
