Physical Restraint Advisory Group
It is a year since we have been implementing the new physical restraint legal
framework. It is time to take stock of that discussion, consolidate and move forward.
Given the feedback we have received, we are intending to refresh the guidelines and
incident reporting forms so they are clearer and easier to use.
We are therefore re-convening the Physical Restraint Advisory Group, and invite your
organisation to be represented on the group and part cipate at a meeting to be held at
the Ministry of Education, Mātauranga House, 33 Bowen St, Wellington on Friday 14
September, from 9:00am to 1:00pm.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the valuable insights we have from the data
collected. We will also discuss some proposed changes to the guidelines as it has
become evident from feedback that more clarity is required. We wil also revisit the
reporting forms.
The scope and focus of the work is on the guidelines and incident reporting forms. The
work does not include re visiting the legal framework itself.
The organisations that have been invited to be part of the advisory group are:
• Education Council
• High and Complex Needs Unit (HCN, Oranga Tamariki)
• Ministry of Health
under the Official Information Act 1982
• NZEI Te Riu Roa, NZ Educational Institute (NZEI)
• NZ Principals’ Federation (NZPF)
• NZ School Trustees Association (NZSTA)
• Office of the Children’s Commissioner
• Post Primary Teachers’ Association (PPTA)
• Secondary Principals’ Association NZ (SPANZ) - Professional
• Special Education Principals’ Association of NZ (SEPANZ), and
Released
• Te Akatea NZ Māori Principals’ Association.

[email address] by 31 August 2018.
