Reducing the use of restrictive practices with people who have intellectual disabilities

Ref: ISBN-9781905218233

New publication

David Allen

This book continues the BILD’s strategy to improve practice in this area by focussing on reducing the use of restrictive procedures in a structured and accessible way. The book looks at:

- what we know about how often restrictive practices are used with people with learning disabilities and their potential impact: this is sobering reading and in itself provides justification for this publication

- lessons about the key individual and organisational factors that can lead to reduced use of restrictive practices as well as an exploration of the possible role of PBS in helping deliver these necessary organisational conditions

- a suggested project template for reducing restrictive practices in an organisation

The overall aim is to help services who wish to reduce their use of restrictive procedures to do so in practice.

Positive behaviour support - a brief guide for schools

Ref: ISBN-9781905218134

New publication

Mark Wakefield and Sharon Paley

Teaching takes place in the context of relationships, most importantly those between staff and pupils, but also staff to staff and pupil to pupil. Behaviour is used within the context of these relationships to communicate all manner of things such as: happiness, pain, boredom, discomfort, trepidation, joy and fear.

Our ability to understand this communication is part of the relationships we build with the individual and is paramount to our success as teachers. This booklet offers a quick guide to the principles of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) for teachers, classroom assistants and others working within a school environment. It is hoped that it provides an easy to read guide that will encourage you to find out more about PBS and how it can be implemented within a whole school setting.

It is likely that the information may also be useful to people working in other settings with children and young people.

Ethical approaches to physical interventions, Volume II

Ref: ISBN-9781905218110

changing the agenda

Edited by David Allen

The topic of physical intervention is still hugely important: the abuse of such interventions features all too regularly in national scandals, and people with intellectual disabilities and other individuals with complex needs are still dying in the UK as a result of the use of inappropriate restraint.

Through rigorous analysis of current policies and practices, careful examination of physical interventions and abusive practices, and clear discussion of objectives and needs for the future, this new publication offers a major overview of key developments and current best practice in the field.

Topics covered in the book are:

- The effectiveness of training in physical intervention
- Reflections on accreditation
- Evaluating the risks associated with physical interventions
- Physical interventions and family carers
- Mechanical restraint and self-injury in people with intellectual disabilities - an enduring cause for concern
- Ethical use of medication to manage imminent disturbed/violent behaviour in adults with intellectual disabilities - Seclusion and time out? Questioning and defining practice
- Restraint-related deaths: Lessons for policy and practice from tragedy?
- Prevention is better than reaction
- Getting our priorities right
- Antecedent interventions for people with intellectual disabilities who present challenging behaviour
- Teaching new skills to people with learning disabilities who engage in aggressive behaviour
- Restraint reduction

Please note: this is a second volume to the Ethical Approaches series, not a second edition. It does not replace the first volume but compliments it and updates the debate.

BILD Code of Practice

Ref: ISBN-9781905218103

for the use and reduction of restrictive physical interventions
third edition

Around half of all people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour are subject to physical interventions. High quality training, to increase staff skills and confidence and reduce injuries among staff and people who use services, is therefore critical.

The BILD Code of Practice provides guidance for trainers and commissioners of training who support adults and
children with:

- a learning disability
- an autistic spectrum condition
- special educational needs
- behavioural, emotional and social difficulties

This third edition has been substantially revised and updated and provides an important point of reference for commissioners of services, those with responsibility for implementing standards as well as families, carers and all who are involved in supporting people who may be exposed to the use of restrictive physical interventions.

Supporting parents and carers

Ref: ISBN-9781905218073

a trainer’s guide to positive behaviour strategies

Sharon Paley, Chris Stirling and Mark Wakefield

Parents and carers are often the most important influence on a child’s life and yet they very rarely receive training in strategies to help them deal with challenging behaviour. Training delivered by people who are in, or have been in, the same situation as themselves is likely to be more meaningful and produce a more positive response.

This trainer’s guide is intended to provide parents and carers, as well as professional trainers, with materials to deliver training in positive behaviour strategies.

The guide includes a CD- ROM with PowerPoint presentation and handouts and, with the clearly set out session plans, provides a comprehensive course that is designed to be easily understood by those who may have limited formal training.

Physical Interventions: a policy framework

Ref: ISBN-9781905218042

revised edition

John Harris, Marion Cornick, Alan Jefferson, Richard Mills

This book gives clear guidance for services developing policies on restrictive physical interventions. It includes examples of good and poor practice, checklists to assist implementation, an agenda for action at the end of each chapter and a summary of key policy principles. Chapter topics include the legal framework, risk assessment and employers’ responsibilities.

The first edition became the key reference for anyone involved in working with adults and children who, because of their challenging behaviour, may need some kind of restrictive physical intervention. It has been revised to show how the four core principles identified in Valuing People (rights, independence, choice and inclusion) apply to the use of restrictive physical interventions. It also takes account of the widespread acceptance of person-centred approaches to service development, the introduction of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and changes in terminology.

The book will be of particular interest to:

- providers and commissioners of adult and children’s services
- schools and teachers of children with a learning disability or autism
- care staff, family carers and parents of children who present challenging behaviour
- OFSTED and CSCI inspectors
- local education authorities
- clinical and educational psychologists
- psychiatrists working with adults and children with autism and learning disabilities
- learning disability and RNMH nurses
- dentists
