Management of Incidents Policy

There are specific steps that must be followed when reporting incidents, abuse, and serious notable occurrences.

Each person served has the right to receive care and treatment that is suited to their needs that is skillfully, safely, and humanely administered with full respect for their dignity and personal integrity. Should an accident, injury or other untoward event occur, the event shall immediately be reported, documented and thoroughly investigated. The purpose for reporting, documenting and investigating incidents is to enhance the quality of care provided to persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities who receive services within our settings and programs, to protect them from harm and to ensure that they are free from abuse and neglect.
