4 results foundAuthor: Stanley, Janet Title: Prevention of Aggression to Bus Drivers Summary: 4 l Prevention of Aggression to Bus Drivers 4 1 Background 1.1 The issue There has been little research about understanding aggressive behaviour associated with the bus industry in Australia, or indeed, internationally. This i s an oversight if aggression to drivers is present, as research on the impact of aggressive behaviour in general shows that there may be a significant and long lasting impact on the victim. Additionally, the limited work that has been done on aggression i n the workplace reveal s that an adverse impact can extend beyond the individual victim , to the ir family, work colleagues and the operation of the workplace . This report considers how to prevent aggression to bus drivers who work in Victoria, Australia. I t draws on the findings from a recent survey on the mental he alth of bus drivers in Victoria (Mental Health at Work 2015). This report also uses information on aggression to bus drivers from the academic literature and other sources , as well as relevant in formation from research associated with aggression in other workplace settings. Ideally, recommendations about prevention tactics should be based on detailed knowledge about : the frequency and form of aggression, the perpetrator, the location, the contex t and circumstances, the responses to the incident, and the current preventative measures in place and their effectiveness. However, t his topic is very new to the bus industry. Thus, this report can only be seen as an initial exploratory approach, on which future know edge can be built as preventative approaches are better understood and better targeted The following issues are examined in this report: What are the reasons for violence to bus drivers in Victoria? This would i nclude both the reasons why the assailant experiences poor control of anger (such as due to reasons of mental illness or substance abuse) and the specific circumstances that trigger the incidence of violence to the driver (why the particular driver was tar geted, at the specific location and time). It would also include, where possible, understanding of how the driver responds to the event given conditions such as personal abilities, knowledge about responding to violence, workplace and wider government poli cy and driver instructions. It includes the response taken by the driver once the immediate danger has past. What prevention methods are suggested from these findings and knowledge gained elsewhere that may lead to a reduction of of the occurrence of aggressi on and in the severity of the event?

Author: Dale, Colin Title: Review of International Evidence and Practice on Non-Pain Inducing Techniques and Systems of Restraint Summary: In 2011, the Restraint Advisory Board (RAB), which was established to assess Minimising and Managing Physical Restraint (MMPR) for use in secure training centres (STCs) and under-18 young offender institutions (YOIs), recommended that research was commissioned: "...into the feasibility of developing a restraint system which does not incorporate pain induction techniques. The research should include assessing the applicability of restraint systems used in other sectors (within and outwith child care) that do not rely upon or permit pain induction". A review of existing evidence was commissioned in 2013 following this recommendation. The aims of the study were to: - identify, review and assess non-pain restraint techniques employed in different institutional settings across different countries (including England and Wales), and their effectiveness - assess the feasibility of implementing similar restraint techniques from other countries and settings within the under-18 secure estate in England and Wales. The research comprised a rapid evidence assessment of the relevant international research literature. This was followed by interviews with an international group of 26 practitioners, academics, trainers and managers about the use of non-pain inducing restraint techniques. The review of the existing research found only five relevant studies, none of which clearly and rigorously demonstrated the effective use of non-pain inducing techniques to control serious or volatile situations involving children and young people. These findings mirrored the conclusions of an earlier systematic review on physical interventions and seclusion in psychiatric settings following National Institute of Clinical Excellence methodology. The interviews with practitioners found that although non-pain restraint techniques were in use in various settings around the world, it was very difficult to identify approaches based on good-quality research on their impact. It was also apparent that the choice of restraint method employed varied depending on context and circumstance. As a result, the study concluded it was not possible, on the current evidence available, to identify a particular safe, more effective system of non-pain inducing restraint readily available to specifically manage volatile and serious situations within the youth secure estate in England and Wales. The study highlighted the need for more robust research in this area. 3 Details: London: Youth Justice Board for England and Wales, 2016. 35p.

Author: Brown, Elena Rosa Title: A Chance to Change: Delivering effective parenting programmes to transform lives Summary: This is the most comprehensive review to date of the implementation of parenting programmes for children with severe behavioural problems. It sets out the findings of a major study by the Centre for Mental Health based on detailed local fieldwork and a new national survey of parenting leads as well as published research. It identifies and analyses in detail the crucial factors that make some interventions far more effective than others, and considers in depth and in detail the key requirements of successful implementation and the main barriers that hamper existing efforts. The report finds that the availability of evidence-based interventions falls far short of what is needed and the quality of services is very variable. Many programmes fail to target those who need them most, take-up rates are low and drop-out rates are high. Staff are not always adequately trained or supervised. We know what works in terms of the design and content of effective interventions but we need to know far more about how to ensure these programmes are effectively delivered on the ground. The research findings presented in this report will help commissioners, providers and practitioners to bridge this gap Details: London: Centre for Mental health, 2012. 108p.

Author: Dijk, Annigje van Title: Is violence hiding behind bars? Encounters with trauma in the fight against alcoholism waged by beneficiaries and staff members of a small detox centre in N'Djamena, Chad Summary: In N'Djamena, the capital of Chad, the idea of 'trauma' became embedded in the 'fight against aloholism' of a small centre, guiding ideas and therpeutic practices in the detoxification trajectories of individuals. I studied this case as one of multiple engagements with trauma in 'conflict-affected' areas, the number of which is growing now global mental health has become one of the new pillars of international intervention. Using 'friction', a concept of Tsing (2005), I analysed what happens in the different encounters with trauma in this centre, on the level of the centre's staff, and on that of its beneficiaries. I argue that staff, in their construction of a 'trauma narrative' around alcoholism, also start to see 'violence' in ways that are different than their beneficiaries. These beneficiaries take some parts, but not others of the psychotherapeutic 'version' of their own stories over in their own narratives. The idea that is central to trauma, that it layse bare 'hidden violence', however, makes that the discrepancies between their stories remains. This paradox shows that 'trauma' in a powerful concept that, when applied, can easily overlook or judge alternative ways of giving meaning to violence.
