Setting Standards In The Prevention and Management Of Aggressive Behaviour and Conflict In The Workplace 

 

The ICM was established in 1998 and incorporated as an Institute in 2000 with the support of the Health & Safety Executive to set standards for the prevention and management of work related violence across all sectors. The ICM was a key stakeholder in the development of the National Occupational Standards (NOS)-The Prevention & Management of Violence in the Workplace.

 

These Standards are available here: www.skillscfa.org

 

Training Standards. The ICM itself does not deliver training, it does however support its members in the delivery of quality training by providing Standards for Training in the Prevention and Management of Conflict and Hazardous Behaviour.

 

ICM-Quality Award Centres (ICM-QAC). Trainers and training organisations can apply to become an ICM-QAC which will give them access to ICM developed training materials and courses. These materials and courses are developed by ICM-Sector Development Groups to provide sector specific learning materials. All ICM Members can contribute to this development process.

Physical Skills Tutors Award. L324 Physical Skills Tutor Award (PSTA)

 

The ICM-PSTA has been developed to ensure that those delivering train the trainer courses in physical skills are of the highest possible levels of ability and expertise. To achieve this coveted Award the applicant must not only provide additional evidence of their experience and background, but must also attend an ICM-Physical Skills Tutors Panel to be assessed against additional professional criteria by their peers.
