Strengthening Our Commitment to Person-Centred Care and Human Rights
At Positive Impact Care Group, we believe everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, empowered and supported to live a fulfilled life.
We are proud to announce that Positive Impact Care Group is now a member of the Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) (opens in a new tab), strengthening our commitment to reducing restrictive practices and promoting compassionate, person-centred support.
The Restraint Reduction Network (opens in a new tab) is a national network dedicated to protecting human rights, improving quality of life and reducing restrictive practices across health, social care and education.
Its principles encourage organisations to focus on prevention, understanding and positive approaches that prioritise people's dignity, choice and wellbeing.
By understanding each person's individual needs, experiences and environment, we can provide meaningful, proactive support.
At Positive Impact Care Group, we recognise that behaviours of concern are often a form of communication.
As part of joining the RRN, we have made the following pledges which we will collectively work towards as an organisation:
To reduce the number of incidents resulting in a form of restraint.
To increase staff competency and confidence when supporting people who are displaying behaviours of concern.
To increase our organisational Leadership Team capacity to develop roles which can focus on supporting people with complex care needs, reducing restrictions and delivering improved outcomes for people we support.
We will continue to focus on achieving these pledges over the next 2 years, working with all staff across the organisation. Some examples of ways we will achieve this include:
