NAPPI skills on Safety Pods(TM)
NAPPI skills on Safety Pods™
NAPPI uk Limited provides training and support for organisations that have selected to use Safety Pods™ as part of their identified restraint reduction initiative.
An increasing number of our clients have achieved considerable success, some reporting a reduction of floor restraints all the way to zero.
Whilst achieving zero restraint usage should always be the ultimate goal, it is nonetheless a very positive step to reduce the residual risk by providing an alternative to restraining someone on the floor.
Safety Pods™ are increasingly being adopted as a means to provide environmental support for vulnerable individuals of all ages who present with behaviour of concern, or for clinical reasons such as medication administration and venepuncture. The pods are used across sectors, such as NHS mental health services, elderly care, autism services, and learning disability services.
Physical Skills
NAPPI uk has developed two skills for use on Safety Pods™
- Recline position (Safety Pods™)
- Recovery position (Safety Pods™)
Each of these skills can be completed with the XL Foam Cushion to reduce risk from a service user who may kick out.
Physical Safety Pod™ skills are taught to staff teams following completion of a Training Needs Analysis and Individualised Risk Assessment once a need is identified. This process is required by the Restraint Reduction Network (RRN) Training Standards and the NAPPI physical pod skills are part of the NAPPI RRN-approved curriculum.
Risk Management
NAPPI only teaches skills that have been deemed to cause minimum impact and to be appropriate for use across all populations. Comprehensive Risk Assessments comply the RRN Training Standards and training ease, complexity, effectiveness, and any fragility of skills. See NAPPI Approach to risk management.
Delivery Options
Direct Training for groups of your employees. Maximum 12 participants as determined by the RRN Training Standards.
Training of Trainer (Level 3) in pod skills is available after completion of Levels 1 and Levels 2. See NAPPI Trainer programmes.
