Our Accreditations

Creating Excellence Together (CET)

Protection of Persons in Care Act

Protection of Persons in Care Act promotes the safety of adults in care, by requiring everybody to report incidents where they have reasonable and probable grounds to suspect that there is, or has been, abuse against a person-in-care. The Act came into effect in January 1998.

Abuse Prevention and Response Protocol

The Abuse Prevention and Response Protocol was developed to address both the prevention of abuse and the response to any form of maltreatment toward an individual supported by the PDD program. Click here to view the Abuse Prevention and Response Protocol.
