Behaviour & Beyond Webinar #2 – International Day of People with Disability

In recognition of the International Day of People with Disability, this BEHAVIOUR & BEYOND session explores what it really means to embed human rights in everyday practice – not just as a value, but as a measurable, lived reality for the people we support.

This session is designed for Positive Behaviour Support practitioners, Out-of-Home Care support workers, NDIS BSPs, and educators who want to deepen their practice and connect with others facing similar challenges.
Sharon & Jenn will unpack how practitioners can balance rights, risk, and duty of care, while navigating organisational pressures and complex systems. We’ll talk about what effective, rights-based support looks like – and how to sustain advocacy without burning out.

We’ll explore questions like:
-When are locked doors and gates a safety measure — and when do they become restrictive practices?
-How can you call out “not ok” practices and stand up for rights-based approaches without burning out?

Join Sharon Paley (Director of ACRRE Australian Centre for Restraint Reduction and Elimination) and Jenn Colechin (Director of Specialist Behaviour) as they explore the behaviour support topics and questions you submit.

Each BEHAVIOUR & BEYOND webinar follows a streamlined podcast style format: participant mics muted, live chat open. These conversations offer an informal, open, and thoughtful exchange, much like ‘two colleagues catching up over a cup of tea’.

What questions keep you awake at night, taking up all that rent-free real estate in your mind?

What challenges would you like to unpack in a live, collaborative forum?

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned behaviour support specialist, this is your chance to dive into the topics you care about most!
