IASSIDD Ethics SIRG

Dear members,

The IASSIDD Ethics SIRG invites you to a learning set on restrictive practices. We will meet three times, 1.5-2 hours each time. The learning set will cover ethical, legal and practical issues concerning restrictive practices. Presenters will give short introductions, leaving plenty of time for dialogue and sharing. The aim is to learn and collaborate around this topic, to discuss gaps in research, policy/legislation and practice knowledge, and to prepare a roundtable for the IASSIDD World Congress in Chicago, 2024.

Petra Björne, co-chair of the Ethics SIRG will moderate the learning set. For any questions or a calendar invitation, contact Petra at petra.bjorne@malmo.se
