Christina Nobel Children's Foundation


Title – Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation

Beyond The Blue commends the exceptional work of the Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation.

The Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation through their operations in Mongolia, work with street kids and children from poor families, to offer support and assistance in escaping the cycle of poverty. The invaluable work the Foundation carries out, helps provide opportunities to the children of this amazing country.

Some of the Street Kids of Ulaan Baatar are forced to live in the city’s sewer system, sleeping on top of the hot water pipes to stay warm and to stay alive. Temperature in the city regularly drops below -35C in the winter months and this is the only way they can survive. For more information we urge you to visit The Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation web site at

Rachel Stephens


Title – Rachel Stephens
Date – June 2006

Artistes like Rachel Stevens can be a huge draw to any event and regularly get the big turnouts at venues, events and festivals. Where ever crowds flock they also present challenges to those organising the event and the Event Security working to control them and provide a safe and secure environment for people to enjoy themselves in.

Beyond The Blue is well placed with experienced staff being able to plan the crowd dynamics of such events in advance and put these plans into action for any number of potential scenarios that may occur during an event. Our Event Security staff are all well trained and very experienced. Briefings for every event are held prior to opening and we achieve low impact security where ever possible.

Rachel Stevens – Pit Management


Title – Rachel Stevens – Pit Management
Date – June 2006

Protecting Artistes like Rachel Stevens on stage plays a vital a role at any event, as does protecting them in the back stage areas and on arrival / departure. Peter Mayhew (Managing Director of Beyond The Blue) often takes on these roles in a very hands-on manner, directly managing the teams in these high risk areas.

In the Pit area, the focus has to be maintained on protecting the Artiste whilst they are on stage from any potential stage invasion as well as the health and safety of those members of the public directly at the front of the crowd. With an excellent support team and event supervisors, our Event Managers are able to delegate other vital duties, while they deal with the most high profile situations. For our clients, equal importance is placed on the customers having a good time in a safe environment and the client’s reputation amongst artistes and agents.

Restraint Technique


Title – Restraint technique
Date – May 2006

Physical Interventions (PI) training complaints a Conflict Management and Resolution course (CMR) if the requirements of the client demand it. Our trainers are fully qualified physical intervention trainers and demonstrate the techniques prior to allowing candidates, under strict supervision, to practise for themselves.

Our physical intervention and restraint techniques are based on low-impact skills; they rely on the technique itself to ensure success rather then strength or force. By ‘low impact’ we mean that we don’t consider techniques that may aggravate or escalate situations, such as strikes or complicated combination restraints that rely on pain compliance or disabling practises.

At Beyond The Blue we have crossed over our central core skills base to many different environments, we understand the needs of each vary, but that the professional attitude we take and the nature and fun we incorporate into our courses, are fundamental to productive learning.

Strangle release demonstration


Title – Strangle release demonstration
Date – May 2006

It is important to us that during a training course we help all those attending achieve their personal goals. Once a technique has been explained and demonstrated by one of our highly qualified instructors, individuals are given sufficient time to practice and are helped individually by the instructor to perfect the technique.

Beyond The Blue’s instructors spend some time examining how individual techniques can be linked together to create yet further possibilities to allow you to act in a safe manner in resolving situations. With our target of the final outcome always being a peaceful one with no injuries to either party, our learning is always set to achieve this goal without excessive force being required.

Our Conflict Management & Resolution and Physical Intervention courses are tailored specifically for our clients, concentrating on the areas that affect them most and using examples from their own work place to demonstrate how effective the techniques can be.

Communication exercise



Title – Communication exercise
Date – May 2006

The simplest exercises are the most positive in generating the understanding of the need for good communication skills. What seems like a very simple puzzle can be made to be seen as overly complicated or almost impossible by the simplest of blocks being put into place.

Translating these into the reality of every day life helps Beyond The Blue to teach individuals taking a Conflict Management / Resolution or our Personal Safety Course to understand what they have to do to get a message across in the most difficult of circumstances, in a very real way.
