40  Functional Behaviour Assessments and Behaviour Support Plans

Outcome: Each participant's quality of life is maintained and improved by tailored, evidence-informed behaviour support plans that are responsive to their needs.

         To achieve this outcome, the following indicators should be demonstrated:
           (1) Work is undertaken with each participant and their support network to undertake a behaviour support assessment that identifies unmet participant needs, the function and/or purpose of behaviours, and identify strategies to address behaviours of concern.
           (2) Behaviour support plans take into account all appropriate sources of information such as the behaviour support assessment, and with the consent of the participant, the participant's support network, the providers implementing behaviour support plans, and assessments carried out by other collaborating providers and mainstream service providers.
           (3) Behaviour support plans are consistent with evidence-informed practice, including proactive strategies.
           (4) The interface between a reasonable and necessary supports under a participant's plan and any other supports or services under a general system of service delivery that the participant receives, are considered, and strategies and protocols are developed to integrate supports/services as practicable.
           (5) Behaviour support plans are developed in consultation with the providers implementing behaviour support plans, and the behaviour support plan is given to those providers for their consideration and acceptance.
           (6) All behaviour support plans containing a regulated restrictive practice are provided to the Commissioner in the time and manner prescribed in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Restrictive Practices and Behaviour Support) Rules 2018.
