Physical Restraint and Seclusion
RATIONALE
The Board of Education is responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment for
students and staff. The Board recognizes its responsibility to deal with students in a manner
which is similar to that of a kind, firm and judicious parent. In order to meet these responsibilities,
the Board accepts that on occasions where the physical actions of a student threaten to cause
harm to self, others, or based on uncontrolled violence cause damage to property, it may be
necessary to physically restrain or seclude the student.
POLICY
The Board authorizes staff members to physically restrain or seclude students in limited situations
and in accordance with procedures. Physical restraint and seclusion should be used as a last
measure after alternate methods of defusing a situation have failed.

Physical Restraint and Seclusion
DEFINITIONS
1.
Physical restraint - is a method of restricting another person’s freedom of movement or
mobility when the person is exhibiting “out of control” behavior, in order to secure and
maintain the safety of the person or the safety of others.
The provision of physical escort i.e.: temporary touching or holding a student’s hand, wrist,
arm, shoulder or back for the purpose of accompanying and inducing a student who is
acting out to walk to a safe location, does not constitute physical restraint.
The provision of physical guidance or prompting of a student when teaching a skill,
redirecting attention, or providing comfort does not constitute physical restraint.
2.
Seclusion - is the involuntary confinement of a person, alone in a room, enclosure or space
which the person is physically prevented from leaving, to prevent self-injury of that person,
or injury to others.
A behavioral strategy, such as “time out” used for social reinforcement as part of a behavior
plan does not constitute seclusion.
The term “seclusion” does not apply where a student has personally requested to be in a
different/secluded location/space or where school staff, formally trained in de-escalation
techniques or restraint, are physically present with a student in an unlocked room.
WHEN TO RESTRAIN OR SECLUDE
Physical restraint or seclusion is used only in exceptional situations where the behavior of a
student poses imminent danger of serious physical harm to self or others, including school
personnel and where less restrictive interventions have been ineffective in ending imminent
danger of serious physical harm. Restraint or seclusion is discontinued once imminent danger of
serious physical self harm or harm to others has dissipated.
It is recognized that there may be occasions when physical restraint may be appropriate even
though more moderate control measures have not been used (e.g. a student is in the process of
causing harm to another person).
WHO SHOULD RESTRAIN OR SECLUDE
School personnel who work directly with a student in situations where there is potential for
imminent danger of serious physical harm to the student or others and where they may be
required to respond to “out of control” behavior incidents.
Personnel will be offered opportunities for training in positive behavior interventions, supports and
de-escalation techniques; and safe use of physical restraint and seclusion.
Page 12
Policy #315 Regulations and Procedures – Page 2
RESTRAINING AND/OR SECLUSION PROCEDURES
The procedures involve the three basic steps of restraining, debriefing and documenting.
1.
Physical contact should be conducted:




with controlled, unemotional and reassuring statements that give reasons for the
restraint and describe the necessary behaviour for ending the restraint,
with the least amount of force to protect student and restrainer, and to achieve the
required change in behaviour,
with the least amount of disturbance to the rest of the class,
in the presence of another adult when possible.
Physical restraint or seclusion is never conducted in a manner that could, in any way,
cause harm to a student:




never by restricting the breathing of the student;
never by placing the student in a prone position (i.e.: facing down on his/her
stomach);
never by placing the student in a supine position (i.e.: on his/her back, face up); or
by employing the use of mechanical devices.
Where the restrainer has less strength than the student, it may be necessary to obtain
additional assistance in order to effect physical restraint.
For the purposes of seclusion, it is critical that:



2.
any space used for the purpose of seclusion will not jeopardize the secluded
student’s safety;
any student placed in seclusion is continuously visually observed by an adult who is
physically present throughout the period of seclusion; and

Due to the job action last spring,
SLMS was not able to hold their
annual Awards Assembly. The
grade 9 students were invited back
to Skaha Lake on January 23rd to
present the major awards normally
given out to the grade 8 students
on the last day of school.

COLUMBIA ELEMENTARY
C olumbia Elementary students have
been so lucky to be able to partner up
with Penticton’s Black Widow Spinners
Skipping team for the past four years.
The school’s club, consisting of over 35
members from grades 2 through 5, has
once again been invited to participate
in the team’s annual skipping show,
which takes place on Wednesday,
February 11th. To inspire and mentor
the group, Cathy Cunningham (Black
Widow Spinner’s coach) held
workshops with classes on the day
that her demo team came to present.
As you can see from the picture, even
the teachers were jumping for joy with
the excitement of it all!
