Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Working with the lawyer from the behaviour support plan, the authorisation record and the provider's monthly reports, list each regulated restrictive practice in the plan, whether it is authorised under the local scheme, its expiry, and whether its use has been reported, and flag gaps. |
| Lawyer | Set the scope, supervise the work closely, verify every part relied on, resolve omissions and exceptions, and approve the exact output. |
Checklist
- Check each practice in the plan against the authorisation record for the same person, provider, practice and period.
- Check that every use reported in the monthly reports falls inside an authorisation, and treat any use outside one as unauthorised.
- Confirm the plan has been lodged in the correct Commission portal for its lodgement date.
- Where a use was unauthorised, confirm whether it caused harm, because that decides whether the notification is due in 24 hours or 5 business days.
