15HE  Matters to be set out in behaviour support plans—if need for ongoing use of restrictive practice indicated
  If a review of the use of a restrictive practice in relation to a care recipient (as required by the behaviour support plan for the care recipient) indicates a need for the ongoing use of the restrictive practice, the behaviour support plan for the care recipient must set out the following matters:
 (a) the restrictive practice and how it is to be used, including its duration, frequency and intended outcome;
 (b) how the ongoing use of the restrictive practice is to be monitored, including how the monitoring will be escalated if required, taking into account the nature of the restrictive practice and any care needs that arise from the use of the restrictive practice;
 (c) how the ongoing use of the restrictive practice is to be reviewed, including consideration of the following:
 (i) the outcome of the ongoing use of the restrictive practice and whether the intended outcome is being achieved;
 (ii) whether an alternative strategy could be used to address the care recipient's behaviours of concern;
 (iii) whether a less restrictive form of the restrictive practice could be used to address the care recipient's behaviours of concern;
 (iv) whether there continues to be need for the ongoing use of the restrictive practice;
 (v) if the restrictive practice is chemical restraint—whether the medication prescribed for the purpose of using the chemical restraint can or should be reduced or stopped;
 (d) a description of the approved provider's consultation about the ongoing use of the restrictive practice, and how it is to be used (including its duration, frequency and intended outcome), with:
 (i) the care recipient; or
 (ii) if the care recipient lacks the capacity to give informed consent to the ongoing use of the restrictive practice—the restrictive practices substitute decision‑maker for the restrictive practice;
 (e) a record of the giving of informed consent to the ongoing use of the restrictive practice by:
 (i) the care recipient; or
 (ii) if the care recipient lacks capacity to give that consent—the restrictive practices substitute decision‑maker for the restrictive practice.
