Restrictive Practices (Positive Behaviour Support)

Positive Behaviour Support is a person focused, preventative approach that empowers the individual to achieve their goals and live as independently as possible. An effective Positive Behaviour Support Plan aims to reduce the need for Restrictive Practices whilst enhancing the person’s wellbeing.

The personalised Positive Behaviour Support Plan is a comprehensive roadmap to the individual. It highlights their needs, passions and prescribed ways to care for the person. We also include the signs of the person approaching a behaviour of concern and how to follow prompts to keep everyone safe.

The wellbeing of our clients and staff is of utmost priority to us and we implement Restrictive Practices where needed that might include seclusion, chemical restraint, mechanical restraint, physical restraint and environmental restraint in line with NDIS guidelines. An example of physical restraint might be holding a person to stop them from inflicting harm on themselves or others. Another example is locking potentially harmful items away like sharp objects which would be an example of environmental restraint.
