Posted By Heathrow Hi, I was wondering if anyone has a presentation regarding violence against staff / conflict resolution I could have a look at ? Or know of any appropriate courses ? I've just joined a new firm and there is a huge problem with street vendors getting attacked verbally and physically and need to get some training / awareness done asap. Any help is greatly appreciated

Posted By Heathrow The "Suzy" people were a fantastic help - the police less so. Many thanks for all the advice so far people

Posted By Amanda Chew City and guilds do a 1 day Conflict Management course. I have used this a couple of times in previous companies and found it very good, the feedback from the staff who attended was also good. Google it and you should fine course providers in your area.

Posted By AHS Do you think they are using aggressive sales tactics eliciting a similar response from irritated commuters.

Posted By AMelrose Maybo also do a one day course on Conflict Management which includes scenarios (they can also do a 5 day "train the trainer" course which is accredited by City and Guilds). Having done both courses, found the information extremely interesting and well presented. Staff that have been on both courses also commented that they enjoyed the course(s) and found it relevant to the work undertaken. http://www.maybo.com/ [please note I am not affliated in any way to this organisation]
