What’s new in the Standards of Practice? What rights do my clients have that I need to be respecting? Hurme, who had a leadership role in revising both the Standards and the Bill of Rights, will explain why the changes were made, what is new, and how guardians can incorporate them while making decisions.
In 2022 the NGA membership adopted updated Standards of Practice and the NGA board revised its 2000 Statement of Rights to incorporate the language of the model Bill of Rights for Adults with a Guardian. All guardians should stay abreast of the current standards so they can continue to provide excellence in guardianship practices. An important component of excellence is understanding and protecting the rights of the persons they serve.
In this session, individuals will learn the changes that have been made to the Standards of Practice and the importance of advocating for the rights of adults with a guardian.
Intended Audience: All guardians, family, public, and private. Any professional interested in learning about guardianship excellence.
The Standards of Practice and the NGA Bill of Rights may be downloaded from www.guardianship.org.
The webinar is eligible for one hour of continuing education credit from the Center for Guardianship Certification.
