Support Worker Guide: What to Do When a Participant Refuses Their Support Plan


Listen Later

What should a support worker do when an NDIS participant says no to their support plan? In this episode, Sarah breaks down why participants say no, what support workers often get wrong, and how to respond in a way that respects choice and control while still doing your job well. She covers person-centred care, support plan flexibility, documentation, shift notes, patterns of refusal, when to involve a support coordinator, and how to protect yourself professionally. This is a practical episode for NDIS support workers who want to build trust, respond well in the moment, and support participants in a way that actually fits their life.
