These National Minimum Standards are issued by the Welsh Assembly Government under section 23 of the Care Standards Act 2000. They apply to all care homes providing accommodation and nursing or personal care for adults aged 18 to 65 years who have physical disabilities, sensory disabilities, learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, mental health problems, alcohol or substance misuse problems, HIV/AIDS, or dual and/or complex multiple disabilities. The standards cover: choice of home; individual needs and choices; lifestyle; personal and health care support; staffing; conduct and management of the home; concerns, complaints and protection; and environment. The standards are underpinned by a number of crosscutting themes: focus on service users, fitness for purpose, comprehensiveness, positive choice, meeting assessed needs, quality services, and quality workforce. There are supplementary standards for care homes accommodating young people aged 16 and 17 years.

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).
