Aggression and violence continue to be common occurrences in inpatient settings for people with mental health problems, and resolving aggressive incidents is a key task of staff within those settings.

Our DASA (Dynamic appraisal of Situational Aggression) study team provide an update on how they are developing and testing their research within new settings. As well as publicising their findings to help improve and support other mental health/wellbeing services and teams.
