Dean CottonHere at Behaviour Smart we are passionate about reducing restraint and seclusion, and the evidence speaks for itself with most of our users seeing huge reductions in behaviour incidents, including those involving restraint, with some users experiencing a 95% reduction in serious incidents after just 12 months of implementing our incident recording/behaviour management system. The main reason for these outstanding results is because Behaviour Smart is based on sound psychological research. The Six Core Strategies form the foundations of Behaviour Smart which were developed in the United States by the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors Medical Directors Council (NASMHPD). The approach is also used in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Finland.
