Evidence-based training your board will thank you for
You are 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.
We do not just train your staff. We help you build the evidence base that shows the investment is working. Organisations using #AimingForZero achieve 41–89% restraint reduction.

2026 study. No drop after Seni's Law
National training and a law have not reversed this. Your board still needs a reduction they can show.
Training that delivers board-level results
Documented restraint reduction
41–89% reduction you can report to stakeholders and governance boards. Real data, not just training completion certificates.
BILD ACT certification
Satisfies NHS commissioning requirements and RRN Training Standards. The gold standard your trust needs.
Implementation support
Data-driven improvement frameworks your governance team will appreciate. 90-day post-training support included.
Measurable outcomes
Pre and post-training data collection that demonstrates ROI to your board and commissioners.
Whole-team approach
Training designed to transform culture across your entire team, not just tick a compliance box.
Trusted by air ambulance charities
If it is good enough for the most high-pressure pre-hospital environment, it is good enough for your trust.
Most PMVA training is still stuck in the 1980s
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 does not create practitioners who know how to make restraint unnecessary. That is the difference between training that satisfies regulators and training that actually protects your staff and service users.
Unchanged restraint data
Your statistics show the same patterns year after year, despite repeated training cycles.
Staff acceptance culture
Teams view physical intervention as inevitable rather than preventable. That is a mindset problem.
CQC still asking
Inspectors keep asking about your restraint reduction strategy, and “more training” is not an answer.

What NHS leaders say
“This wasn't just another PMVA course. Our staff came back genuinely excited about creating change. We've seen a 67% reduction in restraint incidents in just six months.”

“Finally, training that addresses the knowing-doing gap. Our staff knew the theory but couldn't implement it under pressure. Now they can.”
