More than just ‘restraint’ Page 12

Is this a planned restriction as part of a care plan? Are you considering restricting someone? Is there a real risk of serious harm to the individual or someone else? Does the person have the mental capacity to make this decision themselves? has every effort been make to help them decide ? Is a restriction in their best interests? does the restriction need to be carried out now? Is the person detained under the mental health act? Is the restriction necessary for their treatment? have you tried all reasonable non- restrictive alternatives? Is this the least restrictive option? Key Questions Pages 15 and 16

A positive and proactive workforce  Who is ‘the workforce?  What do they do? where? When?  What skills knowledge, attitudes do they need? And what do they already have?  When and how can we develop the skills that are needed? Developing workers to minimise all restrictive practices.

Five steps to Mental Wellbeing How well do our services support people to follow this advice? depression/pages/improve-mental-wellbeing.aspx 1. Connect with family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. 2. Be active – Take a walk, go cycling. Find the activity that you enjoy and make it a part of your life. 3. Keep learning – learning new skills can give you a sense of achievement and a new confidence. So why not a cooking course, learning to play a musical instrument, or to fix your bike? 4. Give to others – even the smallest act can count; a thank you or a kind word. Or volunteering at a community centre. 5. Take notice – be more aware of the present moment; feelings and thoughts, your body and the world around you; "mindfulness" “people” who use the service and those who work there!

and listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees, Send me off forever but I ask you please, “Don't fence me in” “Just turn me loose” “Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze, “I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences, and gaze at the moon till I lose my senses” “I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences”

Risk “Physical health and safety can sometimes be bought at too high a price in happiness and emotional welfare. What good is it making someone safer if it merely makes them miserable?.. And if this is where safeguarding takes us, then is it not, in truth, another form of abuse?” Lord Justice Munby MICROMORT! Professor David Spiegelhalter FRS.

“I felt sick at the thought of sedating him. The staff made it clear that giving him ‘something to help with the behaviour’ would speed up the condition and he would deteriorate quickly. They said that if I didn’t agree, he would have to be moved to another home, if I did agree he would die sooner! Even now, I still feel I killed him. As the eldest it was my responsibility to make the decision. I know we discussed it as a family, I know we all agreed it was for the best for him and those around him………but I still feel I killed him.” Sister of a man with dementia
