RRN Level 3: Restrictive Physical Intervention Reviews

Trainer was very engaging, content was extremely good compared to other trainings I have completed

Fun and down to earth training. Highly recommended

Absolutely fantastic!! Jon was extremely knowledgeable.

During my PBS training,I learnt that following laws and policies means ensuring our support strategies comply with legislation like the Mental Capacity Act, Human Rights Act, and Equality Act. It's about respecting individuals' rights, dignity, and autonomy while promoting positive behaviours. We also need to follow organisational policies on things like restraint, safeguarding, and data protection.

I was educated on various types of restraint, including Physical Restraint. Physical Restraint refers to any direct physical contact, device, or action intended to prevent, restrict, or subdue an individual's freedom of movement. It also encompasses manual methods of holding or limiting movement. Mechanical Restraint involves the use of devices such as belts, cuffs, or restraints designed to inhibit a person's bodily movements, typically for behavioural management or safety purposes in high-risk scenarios.

Some of the things that stood out for me; when addressing behaviors of concern, the least restrictive method should be prioritized and the restrictive intervention should always be the last resort (gradient of control). When we result to restrictive methods, we need to keep the person we support safe and others while we maintain dignity and respect. Restraints should be done with minimum necessary force. The trainer was very clear and good, the delivery of the training was very good and there was good and enough interactions between the trainer and trainees. It was a very interesting and educative three days of PBS training.

This training as helped me to see how important it is to communicate well with the people we support by using various tools. In order to improve their quality of life. As for the practical part . It helped me to see how i can handle difficult behaviour in a calm ,safe and respectful way. It also helped me to see how to safely escape from physical contact without causing harm to the people we support, myself and others. The training gives me the confidence and the skills to handle such situations if it should arise. Overall it was a job well done. Thanks to Bani and Vanessa.

Excellent support and staff given plenty of time to practice techniques

With a mix of experienced and less experienced staff we were able to highlight experiences with some of the people we support which will benefit those newcomers. Bani, with the experience he has had in numerous job roles within the charity was able field all questions from staff with ease. I have the confidence now to be able to design a new form for a person I support which can be used to record Cues ONLY, with another one specifically for Behaviours This will be an invaluable tool to use in conjunction with other recording paperwork. I particularly enjoying covering cognitive biases which will make me more aware when decision making in the future. Hence the 5 stars!!

Really great training. Was able to take time to discuss what our client needed. And was able to explain in detail how to use holds. Was eye opening and enjoying and hopefully will help us going forward to better understand a better way to support and keep our young person safe. Basically it was great and thank you
