The Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) training standards (2019) were developed in response to concerns about quality and safety of physical restraint training in the UK. They have a human rights and prevention focus.The standards support co-production through Standard 1.5 which states that people with lived experience of being restrained must be involved in the development and delivery of training. Before staff are taught any restraint techniques they must hear what it is like to be restrained.An independent evaluation by Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) revealed that most training organisations believed this standard would lead to less restraint. However they felt that this was a challenging standard to meet.As a result of this feedback the RRN is developing a toolkit to help training organisations and people with lived experience work together effectively, equally and safely. The tool will be developed over two workshops and will be available in 2023
