Safeguarding and Quality

We are committed to ensuring all clients are safe, receive the best quality support and have their human rights respected. Our approach to safeguarding and quality is guided by the following areas of focus.

Human Rights

We respect the human rights of all clients. In practice this means supporting clients’ choice and control over their lives.  This is embedded across all parts of our organisation including all our policies procedures, and work practices which are reviewed for human rights implications.

With a zero tolerance to violence, any form of abuse, including sexual abuse, neglect, exploitation, or discrimination (VANED) we are committed to prevention, early intervention, and a prompt response to concerns identified. We work to deliver and continually improve the effectiveness of our services with a culture of safety and quality being the responsibility of all staff. 

Clinical and Practice Governance

Our Clinical Governance Framework ensures all our clients’ needs are met in a supportive collaborative environment where leadership drives practice excellence, minimises risk and enhances the quality of life of people with disabilities and their families.

We support clinical and practice governance by reporting feedback and incidents, investigating these reports and monitoring emerging trends from incidents and complaints, conducting in depth client reviews and through performance reporting mechanisms to identify issues of concern and provide oversight of risks. These activities are supported by a Clinical Governance Committee that reports to the Board.

In addition, our centralised Incident Management Team conduct regular sampling of reported incidents to ensure we have safeguarded the people involved, responded appropriately, investigated and informed improvements to our practice. 

Practice Excellence Framework

Everyone supported by us, has access to personalised, evidence-based supports. This support is guided by our Practice Excellence Framework to ensure we continuously improve our practice. This Framework is underpinned by a whole of group approach to person-centred practice and best practice, embodying a strong culture of human rights promotion and quality of care outcomes. We have a team of multidisciplinary Practice Specialists and Researchers who have a pivotal role in providing practice guidance, expertise, and leadership to our clients, their families and others involved in their support.  

Client Experience

We are committed to providing quality service experiences for the people that we support and their families. We encourage feedback and promote the importance of client voice throughout all levels of the organisation. We have feedback and complaints systems in place and embed advocacy and supported decision-making models across the organisation enhancing client voice. We ensure that our clients have access to the information, tools, resources and supports they need to advocate for their service experiences and preferences authentically and effectively.
