DESCRIPTION:
This half day workshop will provide training in the use of a validated SPJ tool to audit for proportionality and necessity in the use of restrictive and intrusive practices such as seclusion, restraint and extra medication. These are considered within a system of context-decisionpaths. Adverse behaviours are rated as a series of ‘ladders’ or scales and as a rounded description; interventions to prevent violence are rated as a series of ladders that are also a repertoire of skilled professional that also make a rounded description. Short term risk assessments, adverse behaviours and interventions can be analysed to show proportionality and necessity in the use of restrictive practices. Short term recovery measures will also be used for the assessment of when to end prolonged restrictive practices. Participants will receive an electronic copy of the handbook and a certificate of attendance.
