Understanding the NDIS Code of Conduct
Every provider should be well-acquainted with the NDIS Code of Conduct. This Code symbolises safe and ethical service delivery and is pivotal for all service providers and their workers. By adhering to this Code, providers must ensure their workers:
- Respect the fundamental rights of expression and self-determination of participants.
- Prioritise and uphold the privacy of individuals with disabilities.
- Deliver support and services with safety, competence, and utmost care.
- Act with unflinching integrity, transparency, and honesty.
- Address concerns that might compromise the quality and safety of support for participants.
- Actively prevent and respond to violence, exploitation, neglect, and abuse.
- Take measures against any form of sexual misconduct.
Navigating Worker Screening with EnableUs
One of the key components of the NDIS requirements is the Worker Screening Check, designed to assess any potential risk a worker might pose when working with people with disabilities. EnableUs aids providers in understanding this mandatory check and offers guidance on navigating the application process across various states and territories. Remember, there is a fee associated with obtaining this check, and applications are made through respective state or territory agencies.
Quality, Safety, and You: What Every Provider Should Know
It’s essential for providers to ensure their support workers complete the eLearning module titled “Quality, Safety, and You”. This module elaborates on the obligations of workers under the NDIS Code of Conduct. With EnableUs, providers can receive insights, resources, and further guidance on how best to integrate and promote this training module within their teams.
Upholding Standards: Real-life Scenarios and Recommendations
Example: John, a manager at a leading support agency, encountered a situation where a team member unintentionally compromised client confidentiality. By utilising the principles of the NDIS Code of Conduct, John took immediate corrective action and used the incident as a training opportunity. Such instances underscore the importance of continuous training and vigilance.
