Some exciting News
Our Promise is part of the Scottish Physical Restraint Action Group
“We are committed to bringing about more effective, empathic, loving ways of holding children, young people and the adults who care for them in residential child care – in relationally rich environments, populated by adults who are properly equipped with requisite skills, knowledge and ways of being with children in the way that children need.
"We will work towards making coercive forms of holding less or even unnecessary and, when children are restrained, it is carried out relationally and with care.”

Our Promise is part of the RALF Project
The aim of the Reflection and Action Learning Forum (RALF) is to provide a practical and evidence-based approach that supports members of the residential child care workforce to develop the necessary habits and skills associated with genuinely reflective practice.
The RALF model was co-designed by the Scottish Physical Restraint Action Group (SPRAG) as part of the group’s overarching commitment to help bring about a change in culture with regards to physical restraint and restrictive practice across the residential child care sector in Scotland.
This update describes activity during the first year of this two year project. The Promise Partnership awarded a grant for the RALF project, which started in the spring of 2023.
