Section 6 (now section 14) of volume 5 of the Minimising and Managing Physical Restraint (MMPR) Manual about escorting a young person under restraint has been risk assessed and approved by the Restraint Advisory Board (RAB), a panel made up of leading independent medical and behaviour management experts.

The Government is clear that restraint should only ever be used against young people as a last resort where it is absolutely necessary to do so and where no other form of intervention is possible or appropriate. Use of restraint is closely monitored in the youth secure estate.<\/p>

Minimising and Managing Physical Restraint (MMPR) training provides staff with knowledge about recognising which health conditions are associated with an increased risk of harm to a young person during physical restraint, what symptoms and signs should be monitored during restraint, and actions to take should such symptoms occur. MMPR training also instructs staff on how to deal with a medical emergency should one arise during restraint.<\/p>

In addition, all custody officers in Secure Training Centres receive first aid training as part of their initial training course. In Young Offender Institutions all custodial managers must be trained in first aid.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4183", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Faulks"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Faulks"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-23T16:00:42.4927231Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-10-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Young Offenders: Restraint Techniques"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what proportion of staff authorised to use the minimising and managing physical restraint system have been trained in managing medical emergencies which might arise during the restraint of children.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2475", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Stern"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Stern"} ], "uin" : "HL1973"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/92412", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/92412/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Legal advice was obtained throughout the development of Minimising and Managing Physical Restraint.
