About this skill
This lesson connects with the Refusing entry guide and its material on asking someone to leave. The subject raises questions about decisions, circumstances and the responsibilities of the people involved.
Use the video to collect the points you want a qualified trainer to explain. Work through those questions using the applicable training and venue policy. A useful session distinguishes the decision to intervene, the action taken and the account recorded afterwards.
The companion lessons on verbal de-escalation and managing aggression can support a wider discussion of the options considered during an interaction.
What to focus on
- Identify the questions raised by the term reasonable force.
- Discuss the circumstances relevant to an intervention decision.
- Connect the topic with approved training and venue policy.
