💬 Let's Talk Restrictive Practices 💬

Restrictive practices are the necessary pause button - not the plan.

Use them for safety, then get back to building skills, options and safer choices.

💡 What is a Behaviour Support Plan? 💡

A Behaviour Support Plan is designed to improve a person’s quality of life by supporting them in safe, respectful, and evidence‑based ways.

A Behaviour Support Plan helps people, families, and support workers better understand why certain behaviours may occur. It focuses on reducing the risk of harm, building new skills, and encouraging positive, meaningful behaviours — while always respecting the individual’s rights, dignity, and choices.
✅ Person‑centred
✅ Strengths‑based
✅ Focused on wellbeing and positive outcomes

Behaviour is communication — and everyone deserves the right support.
