behaviour support plans
A Behaviour Support Plan is a summary document that helps guide the people around the person with the challenging behaviour to support them in their daily participation and achievement of goals. This can be an important document for someone with a disability who may interact with a range of providers and support persons.
A Behaviour Support Plan is written by a Registered Behaviour Support Practitioner, following a Behaviour Assessment. The Behaviour Support Plan usually contains the following information:
- a summary of the behaviour, what it looks like, when it occurs, how long it lasts for and so on.
- an explanation as to why it occurs
- what can be done to prevent or minimise the behaviour
- how to respond to/ de escalate the behaviour
- what strategies and/ or skills to prevent the likelihood of these challenging behaviours occurring.
A Behaviour Support Plan may also outline the use of Restrictive Practices if these are required to keep the client or others safe. The Behaviour Support Plan will outline the specific circumstances under which any restricted practices can be used within the context of behaviour management, and will outline who is authorised to implement these and for how long. Regular monitoring and review of Restrictive Practices are required as part of ongoing behaviour support service provision.
