National Decision Making Framework

The National Decision Making Framework is a structured guide used by organizations or agencies to ensure that decisions affecting individuals—especially those with disabilities or special needs—are made ethically, transparently, and collaboratively. It promotes involving the person in decisions about their life whenever possible, respecting their preferences and rights. The framework emphasizes accurate information, teamwork among professionals and the individual, and careful planning to achieve positive outcomes. Overall, it aims to support respectful, fair, and well-informed decision-making processes that prioritize the person's well-being and autonomy.
