CPI are proud to have been carefully selected by UK Pods to research and develop a training package to further enhance the implementation and impact of Safety Pods. Safety Pods can be used as an effective adjunct to primary and secondary trauma sensitive preventative approaches which help eliminate or minimise the use of restraint.
Furthermore, our research and development has shown that Safety Pods, when used as a tertiary (re-active) intervention:
1. Provide the safest holding position, mitigating chest compression thereby reducing the risk of respiratory compromise, the #1 risk factor associated with restraint-related adverse outcomes
2. Significantly reduce the duration of restraint, the #2 risk factor associated with restraint-related adverse outcomes
In addition, people with lived experience of being restrained told us:
1. Safety Pods feel less threatening and frightening as people can see and speak to staff more easily than floor restraints
2. Safety Pods feel safer because there is no feeling of restricted breathing or being held against something uncomfortable) e.g. the floor)
Finally, staff who have used Safety Pods told us:
1. Safety Pods significantly improved their ability to observe and communicate to the person in distress
2. Safety Pods feel ‘less combative’ and enabled them to focus on effective de-escalation which in turn reduces the duration of restraints
3. Safety Pods improve staff safety which in turns means staff can focus on maintaining the Care, Welfare, Safety and Security of the person in distress
🌟 GREAT FEEDBACK 🌟 from Yorkshire Care Group Limited and PBS Centre Of Excellence We’re delighted you’re seeing such positive results since introducing Safety Pods to your setting- incredible work! 👏🏼
