By examining these aspects, the report aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of how to manage and mitigate risks associated with restrictive interventions while ensuring patient safety and upholding ethical practices. The report is available on Desklib, a platform offering valuable resources for students.

P1 Legislations relative to restrictive
interventions
Restrictive interventions may be defined as restrictions that may
be imposed on an individual to act independently. In the health
and social care sector is it very important to do so to have an
immediate control over any dangerous situation which may
harm the patients.

P3 Importance of implementing the least
restrictive interventions first
To have a recovery oriented attitude for the patients, least
restrictive practices are of utmost importance to be
implemented. This is helpful to satisfy the patients by
maintaining the effective working relationship with them along
with the compliance of the laws. This must be of reasonable
nature.

P4 Significance of the safeguards
In case of any restrictive physical interventions, which are
unreasonable, many safeguard practices can be used for the ease
of patients. Foe example: If the patient is restricted physically,
which is actually not to be done, the policy of prevent excessive
use of force can be used to protect the patient. Similarly, if the
person serving the patient is at any harm while doing any
operation, the policies must be adopted accordingly to safeguard
the rights of them and same is for the patients.

P8 Types of challenging behaviour
Health and social care is a challenging sector. They have to deal
with many kinds of patients. For example:
• A person may be self injured due to personal problem or any
accident
• A person may be aggressive in a physical way
• A person may be verbally not good.
