Restrictive Practices: Understanding Legal & Ethical Frameworks
Navigating the complex rules around the use of restrictive practices and the drive for elimination.
Dignity Over Regulation
A restrictive practice is any action or intervention that limits the rights or freedom of movement of a person with a disability. In the NDIS, these are strictly regulated with a goal of reduction and elimination.
Key Compliance Areas
- Behaviour Support Plans: Must be developed by a registered specialist.
- Authorisation: Every practice must be authorized according to state or territory laws.
- Reporting: Monthly reporting to the Commission is mandatory for all unauthorized or authorized uses.
The focus should always be on positive behavior support and human rights.
