Abstract

The study describes and analyses incident reports over a three-year period in a medium secure unit. A low threshold of reporting was encouraged and substantial numbers of 'minor' incidents were reported. The frequency of incidents peaked in the evenings. The use of seclusion and manual restraint is reported and these were used more frequently where staff were the target of aggression.
