Violence Reduction
Reducing harm from violence on our inpatient mental health wards has been a key focus at ELFT since 2014. Initially work started in City and Hackney, later spreading across Tower Hamlets, Newham and Bedford and Luton. Across these areas, teams used QI to develop and test the ELFT Safety Culture bundle, which comprised of four interventions: The brosset violence checklist, safety huddle, safety cross and community meetings.
In this collection you will find a selection of project stories, interviews, posters, published papers that tell some of the story of this great work.
As part of this work the trust saw a 31% reduction in incidents of physical violence. You can learn more about this work by watching this
