Conflict Management | Personal Safety | Dynamis Training: Making Decisions about Restraint with Older People in Care

This post is about conflict management | personal safety | dynamis training. This is a video produced by the Social Care Institute for Excellence about restraint with older people in care services. We use it regularly on our courses to prompt discussion, elicit opinions, and get the conversation started.

Restraining someone can stop them living the life they would choose. But by getting to know a care home resident, staff can achieve that delicate balance between the duty to care and the need to protect.

This video explores how staff can make decisions to minimise the use of restraint while maintaining safety and dignity for older people in care settings.

This guide on conflict management | personal safety | dynamis training is part of our ongoing work with schools and academies.
