The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (Q&SC) quietly removed its damning report on Behaviour Support Plan Quality: Summary results to December 2021 from its website. 

A4 provides copies of the report here so it does not disappear from the internet. 

The key points from the report are: 

• This report provides a summary of results related to quality evaluations of 2,744 behaviour support plans (BSPs) submitted between 1 July 2020 and 31 December 2021. 
• Quality evaluations were conducted using the BSP-QEII, a 12-item research-based scoring instrument to rate the quality of a BSP and NDIS Commission Companion Tool that review items associated with the NDIS Restrictive Practices and Behaviour Support Rules 2018. 
• The national median score of evaluated plans was 12 out of 24, which falls in the ‘weak’ quality range; 80% of BSPs were scored in the underdeveloped or weak quality categories. 
• Based on the findings of this audit, the NDIS Commission is undertaking a series of actions to lift the capability of Behaviour Support Providers and improve the quality of plans.

A4 lodged a formal complaint with the Q&SC (15/7/2024) that these documents were no longer on their website.
