Rest, Recovery & Re-Orientation<br />
In response to requests from our valued<br />
customers, ROMPA ® has developed the Rest,<br />
Recovery & Re-Orientation Rooms, or ‘4R’<br />
environments.<br />
Designed for demanding environments such<br />
as schools with BESD (EBD) students,<br />
offenders’ institutes and prisons, these<br />
custom-made and fully-installed facilities<br />
offer a safe environment for those with<br />
challenging behaviours and aggressive<br />
tendencies. Carefully developed in<br />
conjunction with Tony Ryall, an expert in this<br />
field, the value of these rooms is becoming<br />
increasingly apparent. In the 4R<br />
environment, clients have the opportunity to<br />
calm down, rest, recuperate and recover in a<br />
secure, robust, damage-resistant<br />
environment for a carefully monitored<br />
minimal time.<br />
Most importantly, these environments<br />
encourage ‘re-orientation’, such as the reintroduction<br />
of the person back into their<br />
usual environment.<br />
Client Light & Sound Control Panel<br />
To be used in conjunction with positive<br />
handling and appropriate physical<br />
management practice, these facilities offer a<br />
comfortable and calming area, which can be<br />
continually viewed by teachers, supervisors or<br />
competent staff from outside the room -<br />
without putting staff resources under<br />
increasing strain.<br />
In some cases, by replacing external factors<br />
(such as staff imposing control), these rooms<br />
can help develop internal mechanisms for<br />
calming and foster understanding of rights<br />
and responsibilities - not least clients are<br />
encouraged to manage their own behaviour.<br />
This is an extension of existing interventions<br />
for a whole range of needs, and operates<br />
with the best interests of the person as its<br />
principle to safeguard people and respect<br />
the ‘Duty of Care’.<br />
The initiative encourages the safety of the<br />
disruptive person, his peers and supervisors<br />
alike.<br />
Whilst risk can never be eliminated, these<br />
environments aim to significantly reduce risk,<br />
the number of potential injuries, exclusions,<br />
holding and numbers of staff required.<br />
Children on the Autistic Spectrum may need<br />
the room as part of their Time out Plan.<br />
These rooms, typically 2m by 3m, are one part<br />
of a wider structured programme, that<br />
includes a support plan, an intervention plan<br />
and parental responsibility. Each installation<br />
is accompanied by detailed training to ensure<br />
the appropriate and safe use of the room.<br />
exclusive!<br />
It is used in conjunction with all appropriate<br />
legislation and good practice policies.<br />
Please note: 4R rooms are not to be used as<br />
Snoezelen ® , sensory or Seclusion rooms.<br />
