A review was carried from 2019 to February 2021 with outcomes set against those staff not trained through our programme. The results identified the following:
- Petros trained staff were significantly less likely to get assaulted, despite increased involvement in challenging incidents.
- Fewer sick days were taken by Petros trained staff, with a direct correlation identified between the incidence of assaults and amount of sickness absence.
Resilience and Trauma Preparedness Training – Data Review, Feb. 2021
A higher proportion of Petros trained staff were recognised for good performance, as opposed to those not attending the training programme.
The impact of this is not only better outcomes for the staff and the young people in their care, but also a reduction in employer’s liability insurance claims and uninsured losses.
The impact of this is not only better outcomes for the staff and the young people in their care, but also a reduction in employer’s liability insurance claims and uninsured losses.
Further evaluation of staff over a longer period is underway to assess the impact on retention.
We continue to work in the secure setting to support their staff and managers, improving their lives and, subsequently, others they work with and have care over.
