20.Section 5 enables the Scottish Ministers to develop training standards for restraint and seclusion, recognise standards developed by others, and maintain lists of providers who meet those standards.  Subsection (2) requires the Scottish Ministers to publish any training standards and lists they maintain. These lists are intended to be the authoritative source of appropriate training for school staff, particularly those in roles involving contact with pupils who are likely to be subject to restraint or seclusion.
