Participants identified a difficult situation for support staff. Due to the new legislation support staff might become more aware of their use of involuntary care in clients%u2019 care and support. Since this is no longer legitimate, and methods in line with the new Act need to be implemented, support staff workers might fear for their own safety, because new ways of working might give clients with challenging behaviour too much freedom. Participants suggested that this should be discussed with direct support staff before implementing methods that aim to reduce involuntary care. Because it also brings fear: If we are no longer allowed to suspend someone who has just threatened me with a knife, where do I stand? So you have staff who find it scary. And you can%u2019t say we%u2019re not talking about that, because this is now the new law. (Policymaker, meeting 1S)
