Common use of Restrictive practices Clause in Contracts

Restrictive practices. Restrictive practices involve the use of interventions and practices that have the effect of restricting the rights or freedom of movement of a person with disability. They include exclusionary time-out, physical restraint, response cost, psychotropic medication (PRN), restricted access and seclusion. Restrictive practices infringe a person’s human rights and it is Participate Australia policy to avoid or minimise the use of restrictive practices to manage ‘challenging behaviour’ or ‘behaviours of concern’. Participate Australia staff are not authorised to use any such practices unless specifically authorised by our Restrictive Practices Panel and in strict accordance with the Participate Australia Restrictive Practices Procedure. You may obtain a copy of this procedure upon request. Participate Australia adheres to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Restrictive Practices and Behaviour Support) Rules 2018 as regulated by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Any restrictive practices that are applied must have an expiration date and be subjected to a review and must be authorised by an interagency restrictive practices authorisation panel, which includes Participate Australia staff. Participate Australia employees must adhere to the final decision made by that panel, and any changes to an approved practice can only be authorised through a review and new determination by that panel.
