What is one requirement for the training of CILA staff?

One requirement for the training of CILA staff is that they must receive training in abuse prevention. This is vital because staff members play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals with disabilities who are supported by CILA services. Training in abuse prevention equips staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize, prevent, and respond to any potential abuse situations. It also prepares them to create a safe environment and uphold the rights and dignity of those they serve, which is a core principle in community-based living arrangements.

In contrast, while training in customer service, budget management, and cooking may be beneficial skills for staff, they are not mandated requirements within the CILA staff training framework as outlined in Rule 115. The primary focus is on ensuring that staff can adequately protect the individuals they support from abuse, making it a fundamental component of their training.
