Human Rights and Restrictive Practices:
Autonomy vs Safety?
Following on from the COPNI Home Truths report, providers of social care
are expected to demonstrate a sound understanding of human rights and how they
relate to service provision. This session follows on from the Human Rights
Workshops IHCP hosted in November 2018.
Following discussion with members, the need was highlighted for a
workshop dedicated to exploring the appropriateness of practices that have the
impact of restricting movement and independence of service users. Examples include the use of keypads to
restrict access to parts of a care home, buzzer mats and bed rails. IHCP is delighted that senior RQIA staff will
be at the event.
Who should attend?
The session is best suited to senior decision makers in the social care
sector. It will be of particular benefit to Managing Directors; Regional
Managers; Registered Persons in Charge of Nursing or Residential Homes and
providers of Domiciliary Services.
What will the session cover?
The training will be delivered by Dr. Nazia Latif, an expert in care and
human rights. RQIA Director of Assurance, Theresa Nixon and Deputy Director of
Assurance Dermot Parsons will also be speaking and available for questions and
discussion.
The session will look at the human rights framework around restrictive
practices in social care. It will
introduce how providers of care can use a human rights-based approach to balance
their duty to promote the autonomy of service-users against the duty to
safeguard them from harm. The session
will be heavily focused on participants working through a number of case
studies using a human rights framework with feedback from the RQIA and Nazia
Latif.
The session will cover
- The human rights
standards relating to restraint and restrictive practices
- A human rights-based
approach to making decisions with service users around the care they receive
- The human rights
principles and framework to decision-making and record-keeping
- Detailed case studies
to demonstrate the benefits of a human rights- based approach.
- The RQIA’s approach
to Inspections.
