For a number of years BILD has taken a lead in developing thinking and
practice around Physical Interventions, and has published a number of key policy
and practice documents, heavily influencing the shape of the DoH/DfES Guidance
on Restrictive Physical Interventions published in 2002.
BILD has not publicly stated its position in regard to specific techniques until
now as it was felt the guidance within both The DoH/DfES Guidance and the Code
of Practice were clear in their respective messages.
However, we believe the publication of the Millfields Charter necessitates a
formal statement of BILD’s position.
