A Quality Assurance Panel is a group of people who check behaviour support plans.

They decide if a restrictive practice can happen.

They follow the rules in our policy about restrictive practices.

Development Disability WA (DDWA) can help providers find an external behaviour support practitioner for a Quality Assurance Panel.

External behaviour support practitioners are people that:

• need to be on all Quality Assurance Panels
• help decide if a restrictive practice should happen.

Providers can email DDWA.

The Western Australian Government pays external behaviour support practitioners from DDWA to be on Quality Assurance Panels.
