This statutory guidance applies to any service that currently, or intends to, provide regulated care to autistic people and people with a learning disability, including children and young adults, working age adults and older people. It describes the CQC regulatory approach for these services, covering registration, inspection, monitor and enforcement functions. Key requirements providers are expected to demonstrate include: there is a clear need for the service and it has been agreed by commissioners; the size, setting and design of the service meet people’s expectations and align with current best practice; people have access to the community; the model of care, policies and procedures are in line with current best practice. The document includes case studies illustrating how this guidance works in action in adult social care and hospitals. (Edited publisher abstract)

This guidance focuses on the need for provider agencies to have effective policies, procedures and training for staff who work with people who may have behavioural episodes where restrictive physical intervention is necessary for their safety and the safety of others. It promotes the concept of including potential strategies and actions in care plans, to help staff and people who use services deal effectively with such episodes. It emphasises training and in using training organisations who have the expertise and experience to provide for this sector. The guidance has now been superceeded by 'Positive and proactive care: reducing the need for restrictive interventions' (2014).
