Important information:
Organisations should provide a safe therapeutic environment to reduce the risk of injury to individuals in their care, staff and visitors. This will help prevent untoward incidents caused by any use of illicit substances/alcohol or dangerous items. This is achieved through staff training and those staff having access to clear guidance and support in instances where action needs to be taken due to suspected or actual possession of dangerous items and/or harmful substances.
