 Criminal law act, 1967- It deals with all matters of felony and wrong doing. There are
various provisions in which there are several laws are related to felony and wrong doing.

CARE U.K. company are -
 Functional Behaviour assessment – They are the methods and procedures which can
monitor the reason of behaviour of individuals who have communication disabilities
(Hewitt, Sims and Harris, 2014). This process collects the information which can
evaluate the influence of environmental variables on the behaviour and tell reasons of

behaviour in individuals. Thus create the many programmes of behaviour change so that
individual who is disabled can behave in appropriate way to fulfil the needs.
 Proactive strategies – These strategies helps in improving the quality of life of the person
so that they can behave positively in any situation. It includes many changes such as
creating day which is understandable to the person,widening various activities and
communications available to the person etc.
 Development of Antecedents and triggers – Antecedents are the situation and
circumstances before the behaviour of the person. To change the behaviour of person it is
crucial to know the antecedents as then only there can be modification in the behaviour of
the person. Triggers are the code which is generated when a person reacts in any
situation. So hence reaction can be observed and changes can be made in any persons
behaviour.
P.3 Reasons of executing the least restrictive interventions
Reasons of least restrictive interventions used by the UK care company are -
 Minimizing the risk – If there are less interventions to a particular person then it reduces
the risk to the person against any health disease or injury. So person can remain healthy
for a longer period of time (Pulsford and et. al.,2013) .The individual can work efficiently
and effectively if there are less restrictions.
 Maintaining effective relationship with the service user - If there are less restrictions to
the service user then the person can do the work efficiently and effectively(Lowes and
Hulatt,2013). As the person is putting less restrictions on another person so hence it
results in maintaining the good and friendly relationship between among both.
P.4 Reasons of putting the preventive measures if restriction interventions are used
The importance of safeguards if restrictive interventions are used. They are -
 Prevent excessive use of force – Preventive measures can be provided so that there is no

work can be done more efficiently and effectively. Thus it results in growth and
development of individuals
 Prevents injury to the practitioner and service user - If preventive measures are used
then then it protects the service user and practitioner from the injury. It provides safety to
the individuals from any harm or the injury. Thus a person can perform the work with

more efficiency and with full potential. It results in maintaining good health of the
person.
