Course Overview
A 60 minute webinar translating the confusing Practice Standards and risks around High Intensity Supports into on-the-ground knowledge for Support Workers and Frontline Leaders.
Why take this course?
Information in the NDIS Practice Standards often doesn’t trickle down to Support Workers – which isn’t great, given they’re the ones out there on the frontline. So, what are the risks associated with providing High Intensity Supports? What do the Practice Standards say? And what’s your role as a Support Worker?
This practical 60 minute webinar will define High Intensity Supports and the associated risks, give an overview of the Practice Standards, and then translate aaaall this into practical and meaningful knowledge for Support Workers and Frontline leaders. The goal? Less confusion, more confidence.
What you’ll gain
Across 60 minutes, we’ll dive into*:
What are High Intensity Supports?
An overview of the Practice Standards for High Intensity Supports
An overview of High Intensity Skills Descriptors
The broad requirements for a Support Worker when providing High Intensity Supports – including skill descriptors, training, and the use of management plans
How to identify risks when delivering High Intensity Supports (and when to speak up if something doesn’t feel or seem right)
Regular Support Plan versus a High Intensity Support Plan
Sticky situations where Support Workers may find conflicting advice between the company, parents and practitioners – what should you do?
The legal consequences of making a mistake when providing High Intensity Supports (explored in a non-scary way)
*This webinar is not a ‘how to’ guide on providing each specific High Intensity Support, but rather, a broad overview of your role.
Who’s it for?
Support Workers
Frontline Leaders
What’s included?
60 minute virtual webinar via Zoom
