What is Statutory and Mandatory Training?
Statutory Training
Statutory Training is usually required by law or where a statutory body has instructed an organisation to provide training on the basis of specific legislation (i.e. the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999). It ensures staff have the knowledge to maintain a healthy and safe working environment for themselves and their colleagues.
Mandatory Training
Mandatory Training is compulsory training that is deemed essential by an organisation for the safe and efficient delivery of services. This type of training is designed to reduce organisational risks and comply with local or national policies and government guidelines.
Corporate Induction
Every new member of SaBP staff attends Corporate Induction within the first few weeks of starting. The Induction Day, hosted at Federation House, is our opportunity to welcome you to the Trust and provide practical information to help you in your roles. It is an opportunity to meet our senior management, gain a wider understanding of the Trust and we even provide lunch and refreshments that you can enjoy with other new staff!
Throughout the day, we include our Visions and Values that were created by our own Trust members in collaboration with our service users. There is an introduction to Safeguarding and the important role we all have in protecting others from harm. We also have presentations on Staff Networks, Freedom to Speak Up, Staff Resilience (Here for you), and Information Governance and much more.

Violence Reduction Training
Our Violence Reduction Training (VRT) provides practical and pragmatic approaches for staff to prevent and reduce the need for restrictive interventions. Many people generally view this type of training as “restraint training”. However, VRT exists to educate and develop staff knowledge, skills, behaviour, and attitude so that they are not required to rely on restraint and restrictive practice. For those occasions where there is no other alternative, staff are dynamically trained to be competent and feel confident to use effective physical techniques that are transferable to occupational environments which minimise risk, injury and trauma to both staff and those they support. VRT is a profoundly different model to the typical ‘off the shelf’ training package. It is designed for the Trust and by the Trust, considering known risks and needs at the centre of everything we deliver.
Violence Reduction Training Offered:
An initial - 4 day course
Annual re-fresher - 2 days
Objectives: to reduce the need and use for restrictive interventions in accordance with the RRN network standards.
Who should complete this course? Anyone working in Inpatient Services
