NDIS Practice Standards
Module 3: Early childhood supports
m3-3.4 The child: support network actively involved in the child's development
Clause and reference m3-3.4, our reference for this requirement in the NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators
The requirement
The provider makes it easy for the child's support network, such as parents, carers and extended family, to take an active part in the child's development, rather than delivering supports to the child in isolation.
Our wording of the requirement: our statement of what the clause asks, not the instrument verbatim. Source: NDIS Practice Standards on the compliance desk.
The evidence to bring
- Session notes showing family members participating and practising strategies
- Records of support network members the family has asked to involve
- Home practice or routine-based activity plans shared with carers
What assessors commonly find
- Sessions held with the child alone and no record of family participation
- Support network never identified with the family
