Neuropsychiatry Pathway, St Andrew’s Healthcare.

Judge’s remarks:

Cons: The stats are a bit obscure. 6 months gaps for collecting accounts of green behavior seems like a long time.

Pros: Very clear grasp and exposition of the RAID principles involved, especially the idea of finding behavior that the patient enjoys. The statistical evaluation which comes out strong. The determination and energy which went into operationalising the approach.

Overall: An outstanding submission.

Wainwright Ward, Kemple View Hospital.

Judge’s remarks:

Cons: We thought initially this was just going to be a copy and paste job from the RAID website. It would be good to see figures attached to the positive results.

Pros: Good to see RAID champions on the ward, RAID care plans, RAID ladders being used, RAID posters, and RAID meetings.

Overall: A heart-warming description of a thoroughgoing application of RAID to a ward.

View entry


Women's Service, St Andrew’s Healthcare.

Judge’s remarks:

Cons: Would have been nice to see some figures attached to the statement: "Results show that an increase in on-ward training and more training time devoted to prevention and de-escalation was reflected in reductions in risk behaviours, seclusions, time spent in restraint and staff injuries".

Pros: A very nice summary of the important components of de-escalation training. And how it can fit in with an overall positive philosophy.

Overall: Gives a good picture of how a thorough positive philosophy can set the scene for other components such as de-escalation training.

What does RAID® stand for?  ❯

The RAID<sup>®</sup> Course

The RAID® Course. The positive approach to working with disturbed and challenging behavior.

A 3-day course.

A relentlessly positive approach to working with disturbed and challenging behavior.

The 3-day RAID® course is a leading positive psychology approach for tackling disturbed and challenging behavior at source: over 20,000 professionals have attended it. It is a comprehensive approach which teaches staff a philosophy and practice not only to deal with disturbed and challenging behavior when it occurs, but also to prevent it by tackling it at source. Staff feel pleased to share a unified system and to know what they are doing and why they are doing it, while clients delight in a relentlessly positive and empowering approach. The essence of the RAID® approach is to play down disturbed and challenging behavior as far as safety allows, and to nurture and develop positive behavior so that it systematically overwhelms and displaces the challenging behaviour.
