Conflict De-escalation Training for Housing Associations
Support your teams with the skills and confidence to prevent, de-escalate and manage aggressive behaviour safely and consistently.

Practical training to support your frontline teams
Housing association staff are increasingly exposed to distress behaviours, especially when working alone, visiting tenants at home, or supporting vulnerable residents.
CPI’s Verbal Intervention™ programme offers practical, person-centred training to help staff de-escalate challenging situations and feel more confident at work. Our sessions are tailored, in-person or virtual and designed for everyday situations.
This programme helps you:
- Respond calmly and professionally to verbal aggression
- Protect lone workers with proven de-escalation strategies
- Build confidence across maintenance, housing and support staff
- Create a shared, consistent response across teams
- Replace basic online training with live, evidence-based learning

Practical Training for Everyday Challenges
Verbal Intervention™ is designed for frontline housing staff who regularly face challenging situations, such as:
- Customer service teams responding to aggressive or distressed tenants
- Housing officers managing home visits or tenancy conversations
- Lone workers in maintenance, support or outreach
- Staff working in supported accommodation or care-at-home services
