Behaviour Support and Restrictive Practices Policy
A behaviour support and restrictive practices policy for NDIS providers that implement behaviour support plans or engage behaviour support practitioners. It sets out your positive behaviour support commitment and your obligations for regulated restrictive practices.
What is inside:
- Purpose, scope and policy statement
- Legislative framework, including state and territory authorisation bodies
- Definitions, including unauthorised restrictive practice and behaviour support plan
- The five regulated restrictive practices: chemical, environmental, mechanical and physical restraint, and seclusion
- Implementing provider obligations: lodged and authorised plans, monthly reporting and unauthorised use reporting
- Specialist behaviour support timeframes for interim plans, full plans and reviews
- Reduction and elimination goal, roles and responsibilities, and review triggers
- Records and evidence
Good to know: regulated restrictive practices are used only under a current, lodged behaviour support plan. State or territory authorisation is also required, as the Commission does not authorise them.
- Reviewed against the current NDIS Rules, Practice Standards and Commission guidance
