''The Residential Care Regulation'' | ''The Residential Care Regulation'' defines a restraint as any chemical, electronic, mechanical, physical or other means of controlling or restricting a care facility resident’s freedom of movement. This includes accommodating the person in a secure unit (for example, a locked wing of the facility). | ||
The law does not specifically define chemical restraint, but other sources have described chemical restraint as the use of a medication to restrict a person’s movement, reduce a behaviour, or sedate a person beyond any therapeutic purpose.
