You’re not allowed to use restraint anymore

Ever been told “You’re not allowed to use restraint anymore”? Here’s what the law actually says…

If you work in healthcare, care, education, or security, you’ve probably heard conflicting opinions about restraint.

Some say it’s banned. Others say it’s unsafe.

But the truth? When done lawfully, ethically, and professionally, restraint can (and does) save lives.

At NFPS, we’ve trained thousands of professionals just like you who wanted clarity — not confusion!
