Restraint and seclusion observation records
Recommendation
Observation records detailing all use of restraint and seclusion should be completed by the individual observing. In HSCT facilities, if the observer is unregistered, a registered staff member should countersign the entry rather than create a second-hand record. In private and 3rd sector facilities the individual in charge of the shift must countersign and report to the Registered Home Manager at the earliest reasonable opportunity. Sufficient electronic terminals should be available to ensure easy access for inputting records for all staff.
