41  Supporting the Implementation of the Behaviour Support Plan

Outcome: Each participant's behaviour support plan is implemented effectively to meet the participant's behaviour support needs.

         To achieve this outcome, the following indicators should be demonstrated:
           (1) Assistance is given to ensure that the providers implementing behaviour support plans understand the relevant state or territory legislative and/or policy requirements for obtaining authorisation (however described) for the use of a restrictive practice included in a behaviour support plan, including any conditions around the use of restrictive practices.
           (2) Reasonable measures are taken to ensure the participant, and with the participant's consent, the participant's support network, and the providers implementing behaviour support plans, understand the rationale underpinning the behaviour support plan. Instructions and guidance are developed to support the participant, the providers implementing behaviour support plans and the participant's support network to effectively implement the behaviour support plan.
           (3) Providers implementing behaviour support plans are made aware of the reporting requirements prescribed in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Restrictive Practices and Behaviour Support) Rules 2018.
           (4) Person-focused training, coaching and mentoring is facilitated or delivered to each of the providers implementing behaviour support plans, and, with each participant's consent, their support network (where applicable). It covers the strategies required to implement a participant's behaviour support plan, including positive behaviour support strategies.
           (5) Development of behaviour support plans for each participant, in collaboration with the providers implementing the behaviour support plan.
           (6) Where the specialist behaviour support provider recommends that workers implementing a behaviour support plan receive training on the safe use of a restrictive practice included in a plan, oversight is retained to ensure the training addresses the strategies contained within each participant's behaviour support plan.
           (7) Ongoing support and advice is offered to providers implementing behaviour support plans, and, with the participant's consent, their support network (where applicable), to address barriers to implementation.
