Personal safety

theme No.: 24c
responsible federal state: Saxony-Anhalt
date: 10.07.2023 - 14.07.2023

This conference is intended for judges in all jurisdictions, as well as public prosecutors.
Ever been threatened, spat at or assaulted? If this were to happen, what could you do? There is no such thing as an absolute guarantee of safety. But there are principles that can be learnt and practically implemented in order to minimise the risk of becoming a victim, on the one hand, or injuring another person, on the other. The aim of this conference is to defuse potentially violent situations.
The following main points will be covered:

• threat situations, at work and in private life
• dealing with fear, anger and stress
• professional de-escalation strategies
• personal safety, self-defence, self-assertion
• training on prevention and appropriate action in a given situation
• techniques of self-defence using ‘reasonable force’
• self-defence in the office, in the corridor and in confined spaces
• defence against and using everyday objects
• case discussions relating to situations specific to the profession.

Methods: simulation of conflict situations, short presentations, movement and perception exercises
