42  Behaviour Support Plan Monitoring and Review

Outcome: Each participant has a current behaviour support plan that reflects their needs, improves their quality of life and supports their progress towards positive change. The plan progresses towards the reduction and elimination of restrictive practices, where these are in place for the participant.

         To achieve this outcome, the following indicators should be demonstrated:
           (1) The progress and effectiveness of implemented strategies are evaluated through regular engagement with the participant, and by reviewing, recording and monitoring data collected by providers implementing behaviour support plans.
           (2) Modifications to the strategies contained in each participant's behaviour support plan are made based on engagement with the participant and the results of the information and data analysis, and with the participant's consent, these changes are communicated and training is provided (where required) to their support network on the modified strategies.
           (3) Opportunities to reduce the use of restrictive practices based on documented positive change are pursued.
           (4) The Commissioner is notified and work is undertaken with the Commissioner to address such situations:
            (a) where effective engagement with providers implementing behaviour support plans is not possible for any reason; or
            (b) if the supports and services are not being implemented in accordance with the behaviour support plan.
           (5) Each participant's behaviour support plan is reviewed at least every twelve months. Consideration is given to whether the participant's needs, situation or progress create a need for more frequent reviews, including if the participant's behaviour changes, or if a new provider is required to implement the plan.
           (6) The Commissioner is notified of changes in each participant's behaviour support plan in the manner and timeframe prescribed in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Restrictive Practices and Behaviour Support) Rules 2018.
