Implementation of Restrictive Practices
Compliance and Ethical Standards
Strict adherence to NDIS guidelines and ethical principles, ensuring legal and transparent implementation of restrictive practices. I.P.H.S Involves families, guardians, and healthcare professionals in developing and monitoring personalised strategies.
Let's Discuss Restrictive Practices within the NDIS.
Furthermore, These are interventions that may limit a person’s movement, behavior, or communication, typically used in circumstances where there is a risk of harm to the participant or others. These practices can include the use of physical restraints, seclusion, environmental restrictions, or chemical interventions. However, restrictive practices should always be viewed as a last resort, and their use is highly regulated to ensure they are ethical, lawful, and in the best interest of the participant.
Inner Path Health Services understands the sensitive nature of these interventions, and our approach emphasizes transparency, participant rights, and a commitment to minimizing the use of restrictive measures.
Our Approach to Restrictive Practices
Person-Centered Support and Care
We believe in delivering care that is tailored to the individual needs and goals of each participant. Our support plans are developed collaboratively with participants and their families to ensure that restrictive practices, if necessary, are used in the least restrictive way possible. Every decision is made with respect to the dignity and autonomy of the participant.
Collaboration with Families and Professionals
We recognize the importance of involving family members, guardians, and healthcare professionals in decision making process. Our team collaborates closely with all stakeholders to ensure that the implementation of restrictive practices is fully understood, ethically applied, and constantly monitored. Open communication ensures that families remain informed and engaged throughout the process.
Compliance and Ethical Standards
The use of restrictive practices is governed by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, and at Inner Path Health Services, we strictly adhere to these guidelines. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical care, ensuring that all practices comply with legal requirements and are reviewed regularly to evaluate their necessity and effectiveness.
