answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2019 answer text <p>The Children’s Homes (England) Regulations 2015, for the first time, introduced quality standards for children’s homes. Through the guide to the regulations and quality standards, we make clear that the only purposes for which restraint can be used are to prevent injury to any person; prevent serious damage to the property of any person; or prevent a child who is accommodated in a secure children’s home from absconding from the home.</p><p>When restraint involves the use of force, the force used must not be more than is necessary and should be applied in a way that is proportionate. The regulations are clear that restraint that deliberately inflicts pain cannot be proportionate and should never be used on children in children’s homes.</p><p>Where restraint is used, records must be kept and should enable the registered person and staff to review the incident, identify effective practice and respond promptly where any issues or trends of concerns emerge.</p><p>Ofsted is responsible for inspecting children’s homes and on inspection will review the policies and procedures homes have in place for the use of restraint, including the recording of incidents. Ofsted will review individual cases of restraint to ensure practice is proportionate and meets the needs of the child. Where poor practice is identified, Ofsted can take enforcement action including issuing compliance notices where necessary.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chippenham answering member printed Michelle Donelan question first answered 07/10/2019 06:29:11 answering member 4530 label Biography information for Michelle Donelan
