Description

In 2001, based on a literature review and stakeholder input, Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) made the decision to focus on abuse prevention, while also strengthening the reporting, investigation and follow up components of its operational policy, the Abuse Reporting and Investigation Protocol. The Protocol was enhanced to provide more clarity relating to scope, authority and processes, which resulted in a broadened approach to addressing this important issue and a new name to reflect the scope. The new Abuse Prevention and Response Protocol was released October 2003, with an implementation date of January 1, 2004. The Protocol document was updated in August of 2006 to reflect changes to the PDD Community Governance Act.
