✦ Synopsis

Summary

The use of emergency physical interventions on an acute admission unit for persons with learning disability and challenging behaviour was monitored over a 9‐month period. Only a minority of the physical interventions that were taught to staff were actually used in practice. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed, and a number of potential sources of bias in estimating the original training requirements for the service identified. Implications for changing the training programme are described.
