Listen "Should We Follow and Restrain Someone Who Is Threatening To Jump Off a Bridge Into Fast Moving Traffic?"

Episode Synopsis

This is about a care home, a residential care home, it's not a secure care home, and in this particular care home, they've got a service user that started to exhibit some quite extreme behaviour.
Now this only just started to happen, but what this service user does is he leaves the home and goes to a bridge and threatens to jump off the bridge into fast moving traffic.
So someone rang me up and said:
"What do we do about this because we're concerned about the advice we've been getting?"
This podcast covers the advice I gave them.
