Personal Safety and Conflict Management Training for Housing Services
Better protect your colleagues, clients and the reputation of your organisation with Maybo conflict management training. Regarded as a leading specialist, we work to develop the confidence and skills of staff, so that they can identify times where their personal safety may be at risk and use effective communication skills to resolve confrontational situations.
Proven experience and expertise
Staff working for housing associations often work remotely, are on call for extended hours and have to deal with challenging situations such as dealing with property inspections, disputes and perceptions of unfairness. This can make them vulnerable to confrontational situations where their personal safety is at risk.
Maybo training provides teams and lone workers with the skills to communicate confidently and effectively so that they can prevent and defuse challenging situations.
We believe that great service is also good for personal safety, which is why the development of great communication skills is central to the training that we deliver. This also benefits team members who may work in-house providing customer services.
With great customer service and positive communication skills, the majority of incidents can be avoided or defused before they escalate and present a risk to the health and wellbeing of your staff, clients or your organisation’s reputation.

eLearning
Maybo's eLearning programmes utilise the latest learning technologies, realistic scenarios and interactive exercises to offer an engaging self-study learning experience.
eLearning can play a valuable role within a blended learning strategy, underpinning the knowledge and reducing staff abstraction time, or in some instances as a complete solution. It also works well for induction and refresher training.
To find out more or for volume purchases contact our team or visit our eLearning store for individual purchases.
eLearning is also known as self-directed learning. It often precedes Classroom or Virtual Classroom training to provide a foundation of knowledge in advance - this is known as a blended approach.
Classroom
Maybo designs and delivers training to meet your requirements and can deliver direct to your staff wherever you need it. We take time to understand your training needs and the unique challenges and scenarios your colleagues face, to ensure our Classroom courses are highly relevant. Learners receive superb resources and certificates with a range of accreditation and qualification options.
Classroom training can be combined with eLearning to form a blended learning strategy, underpinning the knowledge and reducing staff abstraction time.
Classroom training is delivered by a trainer at an agreed venue. It is also sometimes called face-to-face or in-person training.
Virtual Classroom
Maybo designs and delivers Virtual Classroom training to meet your requirements.
Virtual Classroom training enables staff to benefit from engaging team training with high-levels of participation delivered remotely by a skilled facilitator over video conferencing software including Zoom and MS Teams.
Virtual Classroom training can also be combined powerfully with eLearning to form a blended learning strategy, with eLearning underpinning the knowledge and reducing staff abstraction time.
Virtual Classroom training is live, participatory training delivered remotely by a trainer with video conferencing software.

Understanding Trauma and Trauma‑Informed Approaches
Trauma can affect anyone. When a person lives with trauma their brain works differently and their behaviour changes, yet we as a society often respond in unhelpful ways.
This comprehensive eLearning course seeks to bridge the gap between identifying and understanding trauma, and, responding with intelligence and compassion in a way that opens the door for recovery and a better way forward.
Designed for people providing care and support to someone affected by trauma, four engaging and informative eLearning modules explore the fundamental concepts of trauma and how it affects the minds, emotions, lives and behaviours of people who experience it and those close to them.
This comprehensive course provides a great starting point for those embarking on training and qualifications in trauma-informed approaches. It also provides a pragmatic, engaging and practical way for organisations to provide trauma-awareness training to their whole workforce.
- Psychological trauma and its potential impact.
- Individual factors that can create resilience to trauma and the possible signs and symptoms of trauma.
- Physiological and psychological effects of trauma.
- Adopting a trauma-informed approach.
