    A restrictive intervention is an action that is used to restrict the rights or freedom of movement of a person with a disability. It includes chemical restraint, mechanical restraint, physical restraint and seclusion.

    A disability service provider must comply with Part 7 of the Disability Act, 2006 about the monitoring and reporting of the use of restrictive interventions.
