Under what condition can individuals have unsupervised time?

Individuals can have unsupervised time if it is approved in their Personal Plan. This is important because the Personal Plan is a comprehensive document that outlines the individual's goals, preferences, and the supports they need to live as independently as possible. It is developed through a collaborative process involving the individual, their support providers, and other relevant stakeholders.

The inclusion of unsupervised time in the Personal Plan ensures that there is a thoughtful consideration of the individual's capabilities and needs. It allows for a customized approach to their support, taking into account their unique circumstances. This condition helps ensure both the safety of the individual and the integrity of the support system within the Community Integrated Living Arrangement framework.

Options like including it in the budget, completing a training program, or making a verbal request may not necessarily account for the necessary comprehensive evaluation of the individual's readiness and safety considerations that are fundamental to the Personal Plan approval process.
