BILD ACT & the RRN Training Standards

All of our courses with physical interventions components (breakaway and/or restrictive physical interventions) are approved by the Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) and certified through the BILD-ACT scheme in association with UKAS.

The Restraint Reduction Network Training Standards 2019 have been written for training services delivered to education, health and social care services across the UK including services that support people with autism, learning disabilities, dementia and mental health conditions.

The Standards aim to facilitate culture change, 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
