What training topics should new employees receive under the Zero Tolerance initiative?

New employees are trained on recognizing abuse and understanding client rights under the Zero Tolerance initiative because this is fundamental to ensuring a safe and supportive environment for individuals with disabilities. This training emphasizes the signs of abuse, neglect, and exploitation, which are critical areas of concern when working with vulnerable populations. It empowers employees to identify potential issues and take appropriate action to protect clients.

Understanding client rights is also paramount, as it informs employees of the standards and regulations that govern the treatment of individuals receiving services. This knowledge helps create a culture of respect and dignity for clients, aligning with the Zero Tolerance philosophy, which aims to eliminate any form of abuse in care settings.

While the other training topics may contribute to overall professional development, they do not directly address the core objectives of the Zero Tolerance initiative, which focuses specifically on safeguarding vulnerable populations from harm and ensuring that their rights are protected.
