Description

Training Standards
In 2013 MIND Published Mental health crisis care: physical restraint in crisis A report on physical restraint in hospital settings in England June 2013.
One of the report recommendations related to capturing data around use of restrain another related to standards in particular "For Government to establish national standards for the use of physical restraint and accredited training for healthcare staff in England. The principles of this training should be respect based and endorsed by people who have experienced physical restraint"

Following this report, a significant amount of work around accreditation took place but there was no formal agreement to Training Standards or Accreditation. We have been able to build upon the work that has been in train for several years and the National Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) , Chaired by Professor Joy Duxbury were commissioned to develop national training standards for restraint reduction.

The standards have been consulted upon widely and agreed by the Training and Accreditation workstream and provided (Appendix 2) for sign off (subject to and technical amendments required by UKAS), prior to seeking endorsement from stakeholder organisations.

The Restraint Reduction Network (RRN), a group previously funded by DH, hosted within the British Institute of Learning Disabilities (BILD) was asked to consult widely with the sector, establish and agree training standards and an assessment / certification scheme. This builds on the work BILD have done to develop standards (initially with DH) and "accredit" training providers since 2000. The standards and scheme are owned by BILD and will be signed off by the programme's strategic oversight group.PROJECT SCOPE:
