answer text <p>There is a robust legal framework relating to the use of restrictive practices, including the Human Rights Act 2008, Mental Health Act 1983, and the Mental Capacity Act 2005. Restrictive interventions should only be used in line with the legal framework, and by people with the appropriate training in the application of those practices, where there is a real possibility of harm to the person or to staff, the public or other. Mechanical restraints should never be a first line means of managing disturbed behaviour.</p><p>We will consider the most effective way to ensure all online retailers are made aware of the risks and ethical implications of selling products labelled in this way to the public.</p><p>The Government remains committed to delivering the Challenge on Dementia 2020 in full to make England the best place in the world for people with dementia to live.</p> more like this
