Mind’s inquiry
“When we think of acute care, do we think of locked wards or someone being held face down? Or is this practice stopped and filed in the archives of history? What the people called for in this report is humanity – for care to be humane. I believe people can deliver this and more …..”
Paul Grey, Mind Inquiry Chair, Listening to Experience report

“Restraint is overused in my experience. Often staff would not bother to try and
understand patients - and would just assume they were being irrational or delusional. My partner was treated very roughly when she
refused to take medication. This was because she had had bad side effects before and the staff refused to explain what medication she was being given. When I persuaded staff to
actually listen to her they eventually sorted it out”
[Carer’s quote in evidence to Mind’s inquiry]

I’ve suffered physical abuse when I was younger and being held down where someone forces their weight on you is triggering for me… it’s the last thing that’s going to make me conform; I don’t want them touching me.

Coming out of a psychotic episode is always scary, but the staff were always sure to inform me of what was going on so that I was not confused as to why somebody was holding my arms. They would repeat that I had been trying to hurt myself and they were doing this to protect me until they were sure I had understood.

Positive and proactive
![Page 14: Listening to experience, reducing restraint Paul Farmer Chief Executive Mind 27 June 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042822/56812a6c550346895d8defac/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Positive and proactive
All services where restrictive interventions may be used must have in place restrictive intervention reduction programmes which can reduce the incidence of violence and aggression and ensure that less detrimental alternatives to restrictive interventions are used.
![Page 15: Listening to experience, reducing restraint Paul Farmer Chief Executive Mind 27 June 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042822/56812a6c550346895d8defac/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Positive and proactive – service user engagement
Wherever possible, people who use services, family carers, advocates and other relevant representatives should be engaged in all aspects of planning their care including how to respond to crisis situations, post-incident debriefings, rigorous reporting arrangements for staff and collation of data regarding the use of restrictive interventions.
![Page 16: Listening to experience, reducing restraint Paul Farmer Chief Executive Mind 27 June 2014](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042822/56812a6c550346895d8defac/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Post-incident reviewThe aim should be to understand from the
person’s point of view how the service failed to understand what they needed, what upset them the most, whether staff did anything that was helpful, what staff did wrong, and how things could be better the next time. It is also important to establish whether anything could be done differently to make a restrictive intervention less traumatic.

Local policy frameworksAll policies must be co-produced with people who
use services and carers …The policy should explain how people who use
services, their carers, families and advocates participate in planning, monitoring and reviewing the use of restrictive interventions and in determining the effectiveness of restrictive intervention reduction programmes. This will include providing accessible updates and publishing key data within quality accounts (or equivalent report).

Listening to experience, reducing restraint • The voices of people at Winterbourne View were
not heard• People with experience of being restrained spoke
out in Mind’s campaign• People with experience of being restrained
successfully influenced their Trust in Sheffield• Restraint reduction strategies include peer role
and debriefing – and engagement is relevant to all aspects
• Don’t try to do this without people who have experienced restraint
