This year’s Restraint Reduction Network Conference focuses on closing the gap between high-level restraint reduction guidelines and the reality of what people experience when they are distressed.
Throughout the programme we will move beyond considering the ‘how’ of restraint and instead explore why distress happens in the first place, spotlighting the importance of nervous system regulation - understanding how and why a person responds to distress - and cultural inclusion.
The conference will be of interest to professionals and practitioners working to reduce restrictive practices across health, social care and education. People with lived experience are warmly welcomed.
Our line-up of lived experience speakers, practice leaders and academic experts will explore and share practical, evidence-based tools that help transform organisational culture and create environments where people’s safety is defined by belonging, rather than control and restraint.
Delegates will also join practical, solutions-driven workshops, gaining tools and insights that can be applied across sectors, and in settings supporting people at every stage of life.
Offering a truly hybrid conference experience, delegates can join us in-person in Newcastle or online via our conference platform, Cvent, giving them the flexibility to take part in the conference in the way that suits them best.
