This quality standard covers the care of children, young people and adults with a learning disability and behaviour that challenges. It is focused on ensuring that assessment leads to personalised care planning and access to meaningful activities. It consists of eight quality statements, aiming to ensure that the approaches used by staff to support people with a learning disability follow the least restrictive practice and promote privacy and dignity. The statements cover: comprehensive health assessment; initial assessment of behaviour that challenges; designated coordinator; personalised daily activities; review of restrictive interventions; use of medication; review of medication; and family and carer support.
