Why Maybo
Subject expertise enhanced by real-world experience
Wherever the potential for conflict and behaviours of concern exists, Maybo seeks to reduce risk and promote positive and safer outcomes.
We have always sought to go where others follow, creating the first nationally accredited conflict management and physical intervention courses in the UK in 1996. Our commitment to positive and safer outcomes keeps us at the forefront of learning and best practice.
Most of our team have worked with us for over 10 years after long careers in operational roles and diverse settings. Their subject expertise is enhanced by real-world experience, so learning is realistic, relevant and reflects the challenges staff meet at work.
