Implementing Restrictive Practices Toolkit

Recording each use

• Post-Use and Reportable Incident Quick ReferenceA one-page reference for workers: what to do straight after a use, in order, and when the Commission has to be told. Print it and keep it where practices are implemented.
• Regulated Restrictive Practice Use RecordA form for one use, carrying every detail the Rules require.
• Regulated Restrictive Practice Use LogThe same details as a spreadsheet, one row per use. Filter it by month to produce your monthly report, and use it to baseline a practice for reduction. Use this or the Record, whichever suits you.
• Post-Incident Debrief and ReviewThe debrief and review after an incident, and the actions that came out of it.

Registers (Excel)

• Behaviour Support Plan and Authorisation RegisterOne row per restrictive practice, showing the plan it sits in and whether its authorisation is current. One line answers the question an auditor asks.
• Monthly Restrictive Practice Reporting TrackerEvery monthly report to the Commission, and the two-weekly reports while a short-term approval is in force.
• Restrictive Practice Reduction and Elimination TrackerThe baseline, the goal, the fade-out strategy and the progress for each practice. This is how you show a practice is actually reducing.

Getting a plan ready

• Behaviour Support Plan Pre-Implementation CheckBefore a plan goes live: is it clear enough to implement, are responsibilities agreed with the practitioner, is every practice in it authorised, are the workers trained.
• Consent and Consultation RecordThe consent obtained, or the consultation undertaken, for the practices in a participant's plan. Some jurisdictions require this to authorise a practice at all.

Workforce

• Worker Training and Competency RecordEach worker's training and assessed competency before they deliver the support. Not included if you are a solo operator with no staff.
