SD48: Reducing Restrictive Practice
Restrictive practices are any type of support or practice that limits the rights, freedom, or movement of a person within services. Restrictive interventions are ways staff may intervene in crisis situations to prevent harm e.g. physical restraint, seclusion, long term segregation, supportive observations, rapid tranquilisation. This Policy will guide staff to ensure that the Trust and its workforce provide compassionate, trauma- informed and recovery focused individual care to the people who use our services in the safest and least restrictive manner.
