Who we support
Unrestricted Interventions have access to an experienced and skilled multi-disciplinary team who specialise across a wide range of sectors. Below are the service types we predominantly support and some of the areas where we can help. If your service type or area of support need is not included, do feel free to get in touch if it sounds like our expertise and value base match what you are looking for.
Mental Health Units
The pressure on and challenges faced currently by mental health units is arguably unprecedented. We offer specialist support and expertise in just about any area relating to complex mental health care, behavioural challenges and restrictive interventions.
The introduction of the Mental Health Units (Use of Force) Act 2018 has placed significant additional duties on mental health inpatient settings in relation to policy, information provision, training and incident reporting. We can help with all of these.
We are also passionate about human rights respecting approaches and ethical principles, and are keen to work with organisations looking to address and reduce the iatrogenic harm impacting patient safety in mental healthcare.
Acute Hospitals
The bed crisis in mental health units coupled with increasing acuity of illness has contributed to a knock-on effect in acute hospitals - where it is now foreseeably expected that people experiencing mental illness or crisis are cared for, and even detained for significant durations of time, particularly within intensive care and paediatric wards.
Unfortunately, professionals in these hospitals rarely have the right skills and experience to provide the necessary interventions to support such patients, which increases the risk to the person and the staff. We can help develop and implement effective care and safety plans, and get you the training and skills that you need.
Social Care and Supported Living
Restrictive practice in social care settings can often be hidden in plain sight. This can be due to misunderstanding about what constitutes restriction and coercion, or where the function of such interventions is linked to personal care, privacy and dignity, or to carry out clinical procedures. Conversely, many services have 'no touch' or 'no restraint' policies - not recognising that these can actually further increase risk, as well as potentially breaching duty of care and statutory responsibilities.
We can support social care and supported living services to ensure that the right policies, training, and guidance is in place to enhance the safety and wellbeing of residents, whilst improving the governance and quality assurance of your organisation.
Children and Young Persons Services
CYP Services can often be as complex and challenging as they are rewarding and fulfilling. CAMHS Units and Paediatric Wards in particular offer the opportunity to support and nurture the lives of young people, however, the impact of adverse childhood experiences and the prevalence of enduring illnesses such as eating disorders, mean that recovery and development through adolescence can be difficult.
We are here to provide guidance and assistance to help your staff have the right knowledge, skills, and behaviours to support children and young people in the least restrictive manner - improving quality of life, enhancing autonomy and beneficence, and reducing avoidable harm.
Patient Transport Providers
Secure and Non-Emergency Patient Transport remains a largely unregulated sector, that is ever reaching further out into other areas of practice such as enhanced observations, ward assist, planned physical interventions, and now even the recent 'Right Care, Right Person (RCRP) approach.
With such an increase in scope, and more scrutiny from healthcare providers, overseers and regulators, we can support you to become the 'right people' to provide the 'right care' - from governance and strategy to certification and recruitment, and much more.
