This resource shares examples of good practice around reducing the use of restrictive practices from five NHS mental health trusts. The examples cover the following topics: improved leadership and governance; a programme to reduce restrictive; supporting positive behaviour; providing person-centred care; and embedding a positive and therapeutic culture. To show how the five examples relate to the Mental Health Act Code of Practice, the resource includes the appropriate standard from the Code alongside each example. (Edited publisher abstract)
