|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The IAP recommends that local police forces submit use of force and restraint statistics on an annual basis to a suitable central body for monitoring and analysis purposes | Police forces | Open |
| 2 | The IAP recommends that custodial sectors develop protocols to ensure that investigations are triggered in cases where the use of restraint has resulted in the near death or serious injury of an individual | Open | |
| 3 | The IAP recommends, in due course, that the RAB should ensure that the systems of restraint used in LASCHs are accredited | Restraint Accreditation Board | Open |
| 4 | The IAP recommends the creation of national guidance for UKBA detention staff on how to safely restrain children under the age of 10 | UK Border Agency | Open |
| 5 | The IAP recommends that further discussions are undertaken with RAB to establish the feasibility of them holding an extended meeting once a year to include representatives from all of the custodial sectors in order to share best practice and learning. If this is not feasible, consideration should be given to the creation of a new high level restraint group with full custodial representation | Restraint Accreditation Board | Open |
