Dublin 2010 - BILD's International Research and Practice Conference

5 to 7 May 2010 – The Grand Hotel, Malahide, Dublin

This International Research and Practice Conference will be the 10th annual behaviour support event hosted by the British Institute of Learning Disability (BILD). These events have traditionally focused on best practice in the use of physical interventions, and the drive to create and further raise standards in training and practice has often led to constructive debate on a range of controversial issues such as mechanical restraint, seclusion and the use of chemical restraint.

The event will balance research and practice with a range of speakers and practice based workshops. Using an established and successful format, this will be a great opportunity to hear from acknowledged experts in the field and to gain a wealth of knowledge, engage in debate and exchange new ideas over two busy days.

You can download the information leaflet and booking form.
