Notes:
DATE OF SECLUSION is the DATE of an incident of seclusion of a PATIENT.  Any incident of seclusion resulting in the Trust Seclusion Policy being invoked should be recorded.

The Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Data Set uses the Mental Health Act 1983 Code of Practice definition of seclusion:

The supervised confinement of a PATIENT in a room, which may be locked.  Its sole aim is to contain severely disturbed behaviour which is likely to cause harm to others.

DATE OF SECLUSION is only reported in the Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Data Set if the seclusion occurred during a Hospital Provider Spell.
