The Restraint Reduction Network Training Standards & The British Institute of LEarning Disabilities Association of Certified Training

(The RRN Training Standards & BILD ACT)

The Restraint Reduction Network is a multidisciplinary, multi-agency independent group that brings together dedicated organisations who support individuals in educational, health and social care settings. The RRN give a clear commitment to work together to ensure that the use of coercive and restrictive practice is reduced to an absolute minimum, and the misuse and abuse of restraint is prevented.

The Restraint Reduction Network's Vision:

‍

The Training Standards aim to facilitate cultural change and not just technical competence. They are designed to:

• Protect people's fundamental human rights and promote person centred, best interest and therapeutic approaches to supporting people when they are distressed
• Improve the quality of life of those being restrained and those supporting them
• Reduce reliance on restrictive practices by promoting positive culture and practice that focuses on prevention, de-escalation and reflective practice
• Increase understanding of the root causes of behaviour and recognition that many behaviours are the result of distress due to unmet needs
• Where required, focus on the safest and most dignified use of restrictive interventions including physical restraint. This includes training needs analysis to ensure training is proportional to the needs of the population and setting. There is also increased scrutiny and surveillance of curricula, senior trainers and affiliated organisations.

BILD ACT is a new charity, distinct from BILD itself, to rigorously assess and certify training services that include a restrictive intervention. They are licensed by the RRN to certify services that comply with the Training Standards (2019).
