Welcome to our comprehensive course on Introduction to Controlled Acts in Developmental Services. This training is designed for developmental services staff, supervisors, and managers. It provides the essential knowledge needed to understand controlled acts, agency responsibilities, and compliance requirements under Ontario legislation.

Through clear explanations and practical examples, you will learn what controlled acts are, who can perform them, and how the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA), the College of Nurses of Ontario, and Ontario Regulation 299/10 under the Quality Assurance Measures (QAM) apply in practice. The course explores real-world examples of controlled acts in group home settings, when acts may be considered activities of daily living, and the key differences between delegating and teaching.

By the end of this course, you will have a strong understanding of agency and staff responsibilities, compliance expectations, and the importance of supervision and monitoring programs, giving you the knowledge and confidence to navigate controlled acts safely and effectively in developmental services.

Disclaimer: This course does not provide training in the performance of controlled acts or certify staff to perform them. It is intended as an overview of legislative requirements, responsibilities, and compliance considerations.
