CPI Safety Intervention™ Foundation Training (formerly known as MAPA®)

Course Description – What is CPI Safety Intervention™ Foundation Training

CPI Safety Intervention Foundation Training (formerly known as MAPA) is for those who must prevent and/or intervene in crisis situations. The programme focuses on prevention and teaches staff de-escalation skills and non-restrictive and restrictive interventions.

The programme gives you an effective framework for decision-making and problem-solving. You’ll leave the course equipped with the skills and confidence to champion a culture of Care, Welfare, Safety, and Security.

Certificates are typically valid for 2 years from the date of issue.

Key Features of the Training

Safety Intervention Foundation training incorporates trauma-informed and person-centred approaches. It is recommended for professionals who work in environments that require restrictive or physical intervention techniques. Participants will engage with seven modules and practical skills, including safety intervention and disengagement skills.

Essentially, we have taken the term MAPA, which was used to describe the full curriculum and divided it into two distinct programs:

1. Verbal Intervention is the programme that enables you to teach all the CPI preventative approaches.
2. Safety Intervention is the programme that enables you to teach all the CPI preventative interventions plus the disengagements and/or holding skills.
