This class introduces participants to guaranteed rights to which all people in the U.S. are entitled, as well as additional protections guaranteed to individuals who use services and supports offered through DDS and DDS-funded providers. Topics include: Constitutional, civil, legal, and human rights; the role of DDS and provider agencies in safeguarding rights of people we support; systems to support staff’s efforts; and responsibilities of mandated reporters and the reporting process. NOTE: this training satisfies the DDS NEO requirement for state operated program staff.
Please limit registration to four people per agency. By chance, should more than four people be registered from the same agency, we may need to cancel those exceeding four. We will make this decision based on the time stamp of the registration entry. To schedule a training for your agency, please contact Patricia Carney at patricia.carney@mass.gov
