In this bulletin, we also talk about Outcome Summary Reports.

An Outcome Summary Report is written by members of a Quality Assurance Panel.

In the Outcome Summary Report, members must explain why a restrictive practice:

• can happen
• can’t happen.

They must also explain how they checked a restrictive practice against the principles in our policy.

Principles are important ideas we should always think about.

This information can support the people who helped create a behaviour support plan.

For example, it can help them to improve the behaviour support plan so that it meets the principles in our policy.

All members of a Quality Assurance Panel must:

• agree on what they have written in the Outcome Summary Report

• sign the Outcome Summary Report after their meeting.

Then providers must send the report to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (NDIS Commission).

The NDIS Commission makes sure people with disability who take part in the NDIS:

• are safe
• get good services.
