Doug Melia from Safer Handling

He will be talking about his travels & experiences of other countries various restraint devices & how approaches differ region to region and the cultures at work.

One thing he wants to ask the audience to consider, is why when it comes to a Human Rights approach to reducing restrictive practices, our track record here in the UK isn’t infallible.

He will be sharing some case studies from Safer Handling International’s client-base and discussing escape stories from the history books of places we support.
