Anti-ligature Protocol
at Project Bryant
Key Stakeholders
Summary
Project Bryant involved refurbishing and upgrading a relatively modern property to create Specialised Supported Housing with staff accommodation for a resident diagnosed primarily with Autism. The resident’s needs were very complex and required a bespoke specialised environment that catered for both their own needs and the needs of the support providers.
Our key focus on this project was to create the right environment by installing anti-ligature fittings throughout the property to prevent the risk of self-harm and provide a low-stimulus environment where the resident could better manage overwhelming and negative feelings.
