Ligature
About this Course
Ligature training is a specialised program designed for healthcare and mental health professionals working in environments where the risk of ligature points exists, such as psychiatric facilities or detention centres.
This training is crucial for identifying and addressing potential ligature risks effectively.
Participants learn to recognize elements that may be used for self-harm or suicide, implement preventative measures, and respond to emergencies.
Ligature training focuses on promoting a safe and secure environment while preserving the dignity and well-being of individuals in care.
It is essential to minimise the risk of harm and ensure the highest level of safety for both patients and healthcare professionals in such settings.
