The report says that clear guidelines and well-resourced services are needed to ensure dignity of care for people who use services. It looks at the issues and dilemmas around restraint, particularly the tensions between respecting people’s rights to freedom and to make choices, while at the same time ensuring people’s safety. Although there is policy and legislation to respect people’s human rights, the report suggests that in practice care workers have been left largely unsupported to deal with these tensions.
