New rules governing controversial behaviour regulation method will take hold Nov. 1

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney shakes hands with Adriana LaGrange, Minister of Education on April 30, 2019. LaGrange on Wednesday said schools must document all seclusion incidents, including details on attempts to de-escalate worrisome behaviour.

Seclusion rooms must only be used to thwart dangerous situations rather than end disruptive behaviour, the government said. They must not be used to punish children. The government also outlines preventative measures, particularly for children with complex behaviours. For example, schools should develop crisis and safety plans for students who display signs that could potentially endanger themselves or others, and for children who do not respond to de-escalation techniques.

Trish Bowman, chief executive officer of Inclusion Alberta, said she’s pleased the government is putting in clear guidelines designed to limit the use of seclusion rooms and to track the practice.
