Multiple Choice

Which of the following is a required documentation responsibility of a Support Broker?

Documentation of supports provided by each CSW and the participant’s satisfaction with those supports is a core duty of a Support Broker. This kind of record-keeping creates a verifiable trail that shows which team member delivered what services, when, and at what scope, and it captures how the participant feels about the supports. Keeping these records supports ongoing planning, quality improvement, and accountability to the participant, their family, and funding or oversight entities. It helps track progress, justify expenditures, and inform adjustments to the plan as needs evolve. Other activities described—conducting clinical trials of new supports, providing legal representation, or managing payroll for CSWs—do not fall under the documentation responsibilities of a Support Broker and are not aligned with the broker's role.
