48  Regulated Restrictive Practices

Outcome: Each participant is only subject to a regulated restrictive practice that meets any state and territory authorisation (however described) requirements and the relevant requirements and safeguards outlined in Commonwealth legislation and policy.

         To achieve this outcome, the following indicators should be demonstrated:
           (1) Knowledge and understanding of regulated restrictive practices as described in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Restrictive Practices and Behaviour Support) Rules 2018 and knowledge and understanding of any relevant state or territory legislation and/or policy requirements and processes for obtaining authorisation (however described) for the use of any regulated restrictive practices included in a behaviour support plan.
           (2) Where state or territory legislation and/or policy requires authorisation (however described) to, the use of a regulated restrictive practice, such authorisation is obtained and evidence submitted.
           (3) Regulated restrictive practices are only used in accordance with a behaviour support plan and all the requirements as prescribed in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Restrictive Practices and Behaviour Support) Rules 2018. Regulated restrictive practices are implemented, documented and reported in a way that is compliant with relevant legislation and/or policy requirements.
           (4) Work is undertaken with specialist behaviour support providers to evaluate the effectiveness of current approaches aimed at reducing and eliminating restrictive practices, including the implementation of strategies in the behaviour support plan.
           (5) Workers maintain the skills required to use restrictive practices and support the participant and other stakeholders to understand the risks associated with the use of restrictive practices.
