The report made 37 recommendations that were designed to assist the responsible authorities to implement the new system and included "changes to deeply held working practices (which) can take years to overcome" (Williamson and Smallridge). Subsequently, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) formed a new group of experts. The new group was named the Independent Restraint Advisory Panel (IRAP). It contained several members who were members of the RAB previously. IRAP was established with two main purposes. They were to: - Assess the quality and safety of systems of restraint commissioned for use with children in Secure Children's Homes (SCHs). The report on this aspect of IRAP's role has also been completed (A Review of Restraint Systems Commissioned for use with Children who are Resident in Secure Children's Homes, June 2014). - Support the implementation of MMPR in Young Offender Institutions (YOIs) and Secure Training Centres (STCs). As we describe in Section 1, the introduction to this report, a Memorandum of Understanding was agreed relating to the second of IRAP's tasks. This task is the subject of this report and it was carried out by a sub-group of the panel. Members of IRAP carried out a comprehensive range of activities in order to discharge its tasks. As Section 1 shows in more detail, they: made visits to two STCs and two YOIs; conducted meetings during visits to the STCs and YOIs with managers, staff, national and local trainers, YJB monitors, healthcare staff and young people resident in the STCs and YOIs; provided reports to the YJB and MoJ; attended meetings with national trainers and the YJB's staff to review cases that had been reported as exceptions; reviewed data on the use of MMPR as well as documents provided by the STCs and YOIs; and attended meetings with the Restraint Management Board and officials employed to work in the YJB and MoJ. In particular, the members of IRAP undertook visits to STCs and / or YOIs to both observe and take part in some or all of events as a part of the roll-out prior to implementation of MMPR. Overall, IRAP members noted that the quality of training was very high with a heavy emphasis on a child-centred approach and evident professionalism (Section 4). IRAP members also undertook visits to STCs and YOIs following implementation of MMPR (Section 5). IRAP fully acknowledges, and in no way underestimates, the considerable challenge for both the MMPR trainers and all staff at all levels who work in the secure establishments in introducing a wholly new system of child-centred restraint. IRAP draws attention to its extant concerns in this report (see Section 9 for summaries) and it makes practical suggestions on how to address them. IRAP acknowledges the solid progress made in improving the governance of the restraint system used in the STCs and YOIs with the introduction of a much improved data collection, analysis and feedback system that has accompanied the introduction of MMPR. IRAP recognises how accurate feedback loops can reduce risk gaps and create a culture of learning and improve delivery of timely change to minimise the risks that are associated with physical restraint of children (Section 6). IRAP strongly reaffirms the recommendation of the RAB report that a specially recruited and dedicated team within the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) should undertake training of staff on MMPR. Moreover, having observed tangible progress to date, IRAP strongly recommends that this core specialist team should be retained and maintained. IRAP's opinion is that to do otherwise would jeopardise the progress that has been made to date. Details: London: The Advisory Panel, 2014. 57p.
