RRN webinar on Wednesday 10th March with Aji Lewis, Guy Cross (CQC), Bill Fox (Maybo), Emma Wadey (NHS), Ben Higgins (RRN), Sarah Leitch (RRN), Marie Lovell (Skills for Care) and Glyn Connolly (BILD ACT).

Wednesday 10th March, 10.30am - 12pm GMT

The 1st April 2021 is fast approaching, and with it the date by which the CQC previously said it will expect all services across health and social care to only use training in restrictive practices that is certified as complying with the Restraint Reduction Network Training Standards.

The webinar will include a variety of presentations covering the importance and implications of the Standards from the perspective of people with lived experience, NHS England, the CQC, Skills for Care and training providers. There will be opportunities to ask questions to our panel following the presentations.

A recording of this webinar is now available to watch here.
