Section 19 Disposition versions

2022-11-01

19. The purpose of a concerted intervention process is to implement any of the following measures:

(1)  concerted action by at least two designated resource persons to quickly and accurately assess a case of maltreatment in order to put an end to it, in particular by combining their expertise and communicating information they may have in relation to the case;

(2)  coordination of the actions, investigations or other procedures of at least two designated resource persons in order to ensure the effectiveness of an intervention aimed at putting an end to a case of maltreatment and to minimize the negative impact of the intervention on the senior or the person in a vulnerable situation who is a victim of maltreatment; and

(3)  intervention on the part of the judicial system to adequately protect the senior or the person in a vulnerable situation who is a victim of maltreatment, in particular by means of a protection order referred to in article 509 of the Code of Civil Procedure (chapter C-25.01).

The initiation of a concerted intervention process may arise from the reception of a complaint or report of maltreatment by a designated resource person or from the referral of a case of maltreatment to such a resource person by a person working for the same body as the resource person. It may also arise from the reception of a complaint or report by the local service quality and complaints commissioner, where the commissioner has referred the case to a designated resource person, with the consent of the senior or the person in a vulnerable situation. Such consent is not necessary, however, where it must be given by the tutor or mandatary of the senior or the person in a vulnerable situation and that tutor or mandatary is, according to the complaint or report, the maltreating person.

2017, c. 10, s. 19; 2022, c. 6, s. 11; 2020, c. 11, s. 254.
