    Abstract

    Training is an integral part of programmes aimed at reducing restrictive practices. Evidence suggests, however, that there is too much emphasis on reactive techniques and technical competence rather than preventative approaches, as well as too much inconsistency regarding quality of training and quality assurance across healthcare settings. The Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) Training Standards were launched in England, UK, to encourage a positive change in practice and provide a framework on which training can become more standardised across health and social care services. Since April 2020, it has been a statutory requirement that organisations delivering training on restrictive practices including restraint must be certified. This timely research study examines views and experiences regarding the processes involved in the implementation of the Standards to learn and share good practice and identify ways to improve practice, with the view to inform future iterations of the Standards, as well as the potential transferability/application to other areas of practice or countries.
