Our Most Popular Option: One Full Day
This post is part of our ongoing work helping schools and academies build confidence in conflict management and personal safety. For teams who can find the time, this option gives your staff the most practice time and question-and-answer time with our trainers.
The focus is on the decision-making framework for physical interventions, centred on holding skills. Assimilation of the legal framework and long-term retention of the physical skills is strongest with this duration of contact time.
The one-day format gives your team the depth they need — real practice time, real Q&A, and the confidence to make sound decisions under pressure.
Plan Ahead
INSET days are booked long in advance — often a full academic year ahead. If your school’s calendar is already tight, it’s prudent to consider the Twilight training options as a flexible alternative.

💡 Key takeaway: The one-day course is Dynamis’s most popular format for a reason: it gives staff enough time to truly internalise both the legal framework and the physical skills. If you can secure the INSET day, it’s the strongest foundation you can give your team.
