Right on Board is a program on practice and clinical governance for Boards and Executive Teams of disability organisations.
Purpose at Work, in collaboration with National Disability Services, presents Right on Board: a program for Boards and Executive Teams of disability service providers on practice and clinical governance. It assists providers in governing and managing for human rights, quality and safeguarding.
Practice and clinical governance should be an integrated component of the corporate governance of disability service providers. It ensures that everyone – from frontline staff to managers and board members – is accountable to the people supported and the community for assuring the delivery of safe, effective and high-quality services.
Practice and clinical governance systems provide confidence to the community and the organisation that systems are in place to deliver safe and high-quality disability supports.
Right on Board also answers the need as highlighted by the Disability Royal Commission for greater awareness of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, as well as the strengthened governance and management of quality and safeguarding.
