Organisations using our #AimingForZero methodology achieve 41–89% restraint reduction.
Your staff complete their mandatory training. They tick the compliance box. And then? Restraint incidents continue. Staff view physical intervention as inevitable. CQC keeps asking about your restraint reduction strategy. Your data shows the same patterns, year after year.
Traditional PMVA training creates compliant technicians who know how to restrain safely. It doesn't create practitioners who know how to make restraint unnecessary. That's the difference between training that satisfies regulators and training that actually protects your staff and service users.
Your statistics show the same patterns year after year, despite repeated training cycles.
Teams view physical intervention as inevitable rather than preventable—a mindset problem.
Inspectors keep asking about your restraint reduction strategy—and "more training" isn't an answer.
ProActive Healthcare delivers BILD ACT certified PMVA training with one critical difference: we measure success by restraint reduction, not course completion. Our #AimingForZero methodology transforms your staff into passionate advocates for a zero-restraint culture.
We don't just teach de-escalation techniques. We create practitioners who genuinely believe restraint elimination is achievable and have the tools to make it happen.
Staff return as change agents—passionate advocates who challenge restraint-accepting practices and inspire their colleagues to pursue excellence.
90-day post-training support ensures implementation success. We help you build the evidence base that demonstrates your investment is working.
Whether you're an NHS trust, staffing agency, or care provider, our #AimingForZero approach is designed for your specific needs.
You're under pressure to demonstrate measurable outcomes, not just training completion rates. Your restraint data goes to the board. CQC expects to see a clear reduction strategy.
41–89% reduction you can report to stakeholders and governance boards.
