Need guidance on this question, describe safeguards that must be in place if restrictive physical interventions are used .
I have wrote about our child protection policy, but need some guidance on any other aspects,
Many thanks

Hi, safeguards are the actions that a practitioner knows are suitable, proportionate to the situation. These safeguards will be based on the information contained in your setting's policies and procedures. It's also the training a practitioner has had in dealing with challenging behaviour, knowledge of your expected professional code of conduct/practice as detailed in a job contract or description/work expectations ie. you'll be expected to follow the guidance contained in the setting's policies & procedures so that you are acting within the law and the child/young person's rights are respected and protected. A personal/professional understanding of the legal obligation that is duty to care ensures these rights and the best interest of the individual are at the core of any intervention.

Does the setting have policies for managing behaviour positively and safeguarding? you might find these help more.

Best wishes xx
