Policies & Procedures

Policies & Procedures are a key element of an effective Safety System designed to protect Vulnerable Adults from sexual abuse and other forms of misconduct.

There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ disability.

There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ program.

There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ Policy form.

Policies and Procedures must fit the Organization precisely

Given the wide variety of programs and types of facilities providing services for individuals with disabilities, it is not possible to create a Policies & Procedures template or sample form. A checklist of policy topics which must be addressed, and common errors to avoid, are valuable. The Policies & Procedures Checklist assists in the evaluation of current Policies and highlights opportunities to tighten or further delineate specific policy expressions.
