Understanding the rigorous framework behind our BILD ACT Certified Training.Who Does What?
A clear breakdown of the regulatory bodies and training providers involved in your certification.
Restraint Reduction Network (RRN)
The Standard Setter. An independent charity that defines the ethical standards for training to protect human rights and minimise restrictive practices.
Bild ACT
The Certifier. The Association of Certified Training, licensed by UKAS to audit training providers and certify that they meet the RRN Standards.

How This Works for You
When you book training with JL Academy, you are receiving a curriculum that has passed the highest level of scrutiny in the UK health and social care sector.
JL Academy is a licensed Timian Academy. This means we are authorised to deliver Timian's BILD ACT certified programmes. We do not hold the certification ourselves; we deliver under the strict governance and quality assurance of Timian Learning & Development.
James Hourihan is a senior trainer registered with Bild ACT to deliver the Timian Programme through Timian.
Why BILD ACT Certification Matters
Commissioning certified training is now mandatory for NHS commissioned services and is considered best practice by the CQC for all social care providers.
Certification ensures that the training:
- Protects Human Rights: Focuses on minimising restraint and upholding dignity.
- Reduces Risk: Is based on a comprehensive Training Needs Analysis (TNA) to meet specific population needs.
- Is Evidence-Based: Follows the "Six Core Strategies" for restraint reduction and trauma-informed care.
- Ensures Competence: Trainers are rigorously assessed and must maintain annual CPD.
