What does the PAR rule specify?

The PAR rule specifies types of interventions and levels of physical intervention, which means it provides a framework for how staff should respond in various situations involving youth. This is important because it ensures that there are clear guidelines on what interventions are appropriate based on the context of a situation. By detailing different types of interventions, including both verbal and physical responses, the PAR rule helps staff make informed decisions about how to manage challenging behaviors effectively and safely. This layered approach allows for more tailored responses, promoting safety and de-escalation while considering the specific needs and circumstances of the youth involved.
