Description

This online course supports disability support workers to build the knowledge and practical skills needed to understand and respond appropriately to regulated restrictive practices (RRPs). The course explores the different types of restrictive practices, including seclusion, chemical, mechanical, physical and environmental restraint, and the strict conditions under which they may ever be used. Participants gain an understanding of the legislation and governance underpinning RRPs, including the NDIS Quality and Safeguarding Framework, and their responsibilities when it comes to authorisation, documentation and reporting. The course also covers how to recognise and respond to a reportable incident, and how to support a person with disability who discloses abuse. Helping workers understand that RRPs must only ever be used as a last resort, this course equips participants to work within a person-centred, rights-based and trauma-informed approach, ensuring the dignity and safety of the people they support.
