Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Rights-Based Behaviour Analysis and Support: Discussion

Mr. Alan Tennyson:

Absolutely. It is included in S.I. 367 of the Health Act, which names positive behaviour support as required in HIQA-registered services. Yet, we do not have any regulation of what that positive behaviour support training should look like. Evidently, that is problematic because we cannot assure quality for those who are providing that training. That is something we need to address as a community.
