Restraint
Plain English definition
From:
Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster
When your movements or behaviour are deliberately restricted by someone. Restraint may be used in an emergency, to prevent someone harming themselves or other people. It may also be used in a planned way to prevent someone who is unable to make decisions for themselves causing harm. If restraint is used wrongly, it may be abuse.
