"Making the decision to have a child...is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." Keeping our kids safe (and ourselves sane) is one of our most important duties as parents...but the best advice for doing that is scattered across dozens of disciplines. Karate teachers, police, sociologists, and alarm companies all have their own opinions, and some of them even contradict each other. Jason Brick is the host of the Safest Family on the Block where he interviews leading experts in everything from special warfare, to first aid, to child psychology, to consumer safety, bringing you the information you need to run a safe, secure, and happy household.

I am using this milestone episode of the Managing Violence Podcast to plant a flag. It is time we tear down this makeshift industry we have continued to patch, fix and repair over the past 70 or so years. Like a loved family home that has been renovated and added to in ad hoc fashion as it has been outgrown, sometimes the best option is to take the lessons and rebuild for the future. It's time for us to create something that is truly fit for purpose. In this podcast I talk about what I think is the future of our industry. A move towards violence prevention and management, the incorporation of best-practice risk management principles and formalising professional education for instructors.
