What is 'dynamic risk assessment' in a conflict situation?
Answer: Continuously evaluating the threat and adjusting response accordingly
Dynamic risk assessment is an ongoing mental process during a conflict where the door supervisor constantly re-evaluates the threat level and adapts their response in real time.
When is physical intervention legally justified for a door supervisor?
Answer: When de-escalation has failed and force is necessary to protect safety
Physical intervention is only justified as a last resort when verbal de-escalation has failed and force is necessary to prevent harm, and even then must be proportionate.
Which physical intervention technique should door supervisors prioritise when removing an uncooperative person?
Answer: Escort holds that minimise injury risk
Escort holds allow controlled movement of a person while minimising injury risk to all parties; dangerous techniques like choke holds are prohibited and could cause serious harm.
What is 'positional asphyxia' and why must door supervisors be aware of it?
Answer: A potentially fatal condition caused by body position restricting breathing during restraint
Positional asphyxia occurs when a person's body position prevents adequate breathing, often during restraint face-down; it can be fatal and door supervisors must avoid positions that restrict breathing.
After a physical intervention, what is the first action a door supervisor should take?
Answer: Check the welfare of all parties and call emergency services if needed
Immediate welfare checks ensure no one has been injured; if medical assistance is needed, emergency services must be called without delay as a duty of care.
What is the 'SARA model' sometimes used in security conflict management?
Answer: Scan, Analyse, Respond, Assess
The SARA model (Scan, Analyse, Respond, Assess) is a problem-solving framework used to identify, address and evaluate responses to conflict and security incidents.
