Debriefing policies for aggressive behaviour and restraint

Recommendation

All HSCTs should develop two clear operational debriefing policies. The first should apply to both staff and people with learning disabilities and autistic people who are involved in, or affected by, aggressive behaviour. A separate debriefing after any restraint or seclusion incident should also be developed. This should include both staff and people with learning disabilities and autistic people, and should specify that debriefing should be facilitated by staff outside of the immediate service delivery unit.
