What does the Legal Use of Restrictive Interventions course cover?

The Legal Use of Restrictive Interventions online training course contains the following 7 topics:

1 – Introduction to restrictive interventions

The first topic defines restraint and describes different types of restraint. Then you will learn about the doctrine of emergency.

2 – Background cases

The second topic uses three important cases to explain what a claimant must prove in order to establish negligence.

3 – Records

The third topic describes the characteristics of good restrictive intervention records. It goes on to describe three invaluable tools which will help you write good records.

4 – Legal Framework

Topic 4 details the legal framework of mental capacity. Your actions will differ for people who have mental capacity, people with short-term lack of capacity, and people with long-term lack of capacity. Finally, the topic covers what to do in emergency situations.

5 – Capacity assessment

Topic 5 uses the case known as ‘Re C’ to explain the test for mental capacity. It also discusses religious belief and capacity assessment.

6 – The Human Rights Act

Topic 6 identifies relevant aspects of the Human Rights Act. It uses the case of Herczegfalvy to show how human rights law relates to restrictive interventions.

7 – Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)

Topic 7 is about best interests and deprivation of liberty safeguards. It presents two important cases that relate to DoLS. It also covers the acid test for deprivation of liberty.

Assessment

There is an assessment at the end of the course. The assessment questions are selected from question banks which means the questions are different each time a candidate takes the assessment. Therefore the course is useful for both initial and refresher training.

We have not put any limit on the number of assessment attempts, so you can take the assessment as often as you like. You will get feedback to unsure you learn from any errors.
