53  Reportable Incidents involving the Use of a Restrictive Practice

Outcome: Each participant that is subject to an emergency or unauthorised use of a restrictive practice has the use of that practice reported and reviewed.

         To achieve this outcome, the following indicators should be demonstrated:
           (1) The participant's immediate referral to, and assessment by a medical practitioner (where appropriate) is supported following an incident.
           (2) Collaboration is undertaken with mainstream service providers, such as police and/or other emergency services, mental health and emergency department, treating medical practitioners and other allied health clinicians, in responding to the unauthorised use of a restrictive practice.
           (3) The Commissioner is notified of all reportable incidents involving the use of an unauthorised restrictive practice in accordance with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Incident Management and Reportable Incidents) Rules 2018.
           (4) Where an unauthorised restrictive practice has been used, the workers and management of providers implementing behaviour support plans engage in debriefing to identify areas for improvement and to inform further action. The outcomes of the debriefing are documented.
           (5) Based on the review of incidents, the supports to the participant are adjusted, and where appropriate, the engagement of a specialist behaviour support provider is facilitated to develop or review the participant's behaviour support plan or interim behaviour support plan, if required, in accordance with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Restrictive Practices and Behaviour Support) Rules 2018.
           (6) Authorisation processes (however described) are initiated as required by their jurisdiction.
           (7) The participant, and with the participant's consent, their support network and other stakeholders as appropriate, are included in the review of incidents.
