The National Collaboration on Reducing Restrictive Practices is a group of people from each state and territory government in Australia.

This group works together to protect the rights of people with disability.

Rights are rules about how people must treat others:

• fairly
• equally.

They create information for people with disability and their supports.

This information is to help everyone in Australia use less restrictive practices.

The group made a video about types of physical restraint that are never okay.

Physical restraint is when someone holds a person’s body so they can’t move:

• at all
• as much.

You can watch the video.

The group also made a video about environmental restraints.

Environmental restraints are actions that stop people from:

• using certain things
• going into certain areas
• taking part in activities.

You can watch the video.
