Our security staff are trained to manage patients with disturbed or aggressive behaviour in healthcare settings.
We identify high-risk clinical areas prone to patient disturbances through risk assessments and local processes, then develop appropriate response strategies accordingly.
High-risk patients with specific medical conditions should be identified by qualified medical staff through clinical risk assessments.
For the purpose of this policy, restraint refers to ‘manual’ or ‘mechanical’ restraint only. Aligning with an international shift, StateGuard supports reducing and, where possible, eliminating the use of restraint in health facilities. Restraint is always a last resort for managing a disturbed and/or aggressive patient or individual who poses a risk to themselves or others.
A safer approach to managing patients with disturbed or aggressive behaviour involves prevention strategies, such as good communication, engagement, awareness of the situation, and proper case management, likely resulting in better outcomes for staff, patients, and the public.
