7. Research
The research on Trauma Informed Practices indicates that trauma informed schools have made an impact on the use of Restraints and Time-outs.
- Trauma-informed care (TIC) is receiving growing interest and support as a promising approach to reducing the use of restrictive measures (restraints, seclusions and time-outs) in children and youth living in residential care.
- This study adds to the evidence on TIC staff training as a promising approach to reducing the use of restrictive measures on children and youth in residential care. Descriptive data indicated there were reductions in the number of restraints (41.82%), seclusions (19.91%) and time-outs (48.15%) following the initial training; in other words, there were about half as many restraints and time-outs per child over a year.
