title: A national abhorrence of physical restraint.
abstract: Publications such as those from the RCN and the CSCI, together with media scrutiny and the increased involvement of the legal system, are highlighting what has been a long-standing issue for many health and social care staff. The difficulties still facing staff are that every situation is unique and staff members are themselves individuals.
