Adult Social Care & Health Services
Our Adult Social Care and Health team is led by nationally recognised expertise that has helped shape the standards and practice in relation to reducing the use of restraint across the UK.
View CoursesWe work in partnership with adult social care and health providers to create lasting, positive change in culture and attitudes towards understanding behaviour.
At Protecting Rights in a Caring Environment (PRICE) Training, we are committed to promoting a human rights-based approach across adult social care and health services, supporting organisations to reduce restrictive practices and improve the quality of life of the people they support.
This area of expertise is led by Jim Ridley, Director of Adult Social Care & Health (Nurse Consultant) and co-author of the Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) Training Standards. His leadership ensures our programmes remain at the forefront of evidence-based practice, helping organisations develop safer, more therapeutic approaches that prioritise prevention, dignity, and positive outcomes.
We empower professionals across adult social care and health with evidence-based training, practical tools, and expert knowledge to improve outcomes for the people they support. Grounded in trauma-informed care, Positive Behaviour Support, and a human rights-based approach, our programmes equip staff to respond safely and effectively to behaviours of concern and distress across the lifespan.
PRICE’s training is ACT certified against the Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) Training Standards, meeting the requirements for NHS-commissioned services and the expectations of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for training involving restrictive practices.
Our Positive Approaches to Challenging Behaviour curriculum promotes prevention, de-escalation, reflective practice, and the protection of fundamental human rights, helping organisations reduce reliance on restrictive interventions through positive, person-centred practice.
Where physical intervention is necessary, staff are taught a suite of independently assessed, biomechanically and anatomically evaluated techniques, from breakaways to multi-person holds, designed to maintain the safety and dignity of everyone involved.
