Erratum and clarification
If you downloaded a copy of the Serious Case Review: Winterbourne View Hospital between 7 August 2012 (when it was launched) and 20 August 2012 (the date of this erratum), please note the following two corrections:
- Footnote 7, page 22 should read: Maybo Ltd is a provider of conflict management training across sectors and a British Institute of Learning Disabilities (BILD) accredited provider of physical intervention training (www.maybo.co.uk accessed on 29 February 2012)
- The final sentence of paragraph 8.8, page 139, should read: Castlebeck Ltd received physical intervention training from Maybo Ltd, a BILD (www.bild.org.uk ) accredited provider Margaret Flynn and Vic Citarella
Ann Chivers, Chief Executive of the British Institute of Learning Disabilities wishes to state that BILD has not had any direct involvement in relation to Castlebeck and issues of restraint as suggested in the original report.
The BILD Physical Intervention Accreditation Scheme accredits training providers that deliver training in behaviour support and management. This is done by organisations providing a portfolio that demonstrates evidence of meeting the requirements of BILD’s Code of Practice, Assessor observation of training, a review of paperwork and recording, and a presentation to an independent panel. If a training provider is successful, then they are added to the list of accredited providers which is on the BILD websitewww.bild.org.uk Accreditation lasts for a 3 year period.
BILD has been and continues to be at the forefront of promoting positive behaviour support approaches with a track record of working to improve outcomes for people with learning disabilities and their families that stretches back over 40 years.
