RRN certified

Having set up the Restraint Reduction Network, in England, in 2017 before passing it to BILD, CPI has a rich history in setting and adhering to best practice, guidance and legislation as well as supporting our customers to do the same. We meet or exceed the Restraint Reduction Network Training Standards.

Consistency of delivery

Our instructors are all directly employed by CPI and offer a consistent high standard of training.

Sector experience

Our instructors all hold a wealth of experience in either the health and social care or education sectors. They're not just trained to train CPI programmes. We have a level of expertise unmatched by most other training providers.

MAPA^® and Pivotal Education legacy

Always looking on how we can improve our programmes and move with the times, we've taken our well-known MAPA brand and adapted it into two distinct programmes, Safety Intervention and Verbal Intervention.

For the education sector, we've built on the Pivotal Education legacy a company set up by Paul Dix (author of When the Adults Change). CPI bought Pivotal Education in 2017 and we've since created the Classroom Culture training programme, taking the five pillars of Pivotal practice and developing into the Five Principles of CPI to further enhance our behaviour training offering for schools.

We offer blended training options (virtual and face to face) as well as in class training.

We run open 'train the trainer' programmes so you can have your own instructor or we can deliver training directly to your staff on your premises.
