Which types of abuse does the Zero Tolerance policy address?

The Zero Tolerance policy addresses a comprehensive range of abuse types that are critical to ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals with disabilities. This includes physical abuse, which involves any form of harm or injury inflicted on a person; emotional abuse, which can damage a person's psychological well-being; sexual abuse, which involves any non-consensual sexual act; neglect, which refers to the failure to provide necessary care or assistance; and exploitation, where an individual is taken advantage of for someone else's gain.

By encompassing all these forms of abuse, the policy aims to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can thrive without fear of harm. Addressing these various types of abuse ensures a holistic approach to protecting vulnerable populations, recognizing that abuse can manifest in many forms and can have profound impacts on individuals' lives. This comprehensive framework is crucial in promoting awareness, preventing abuse, and providing the necessary resources for those who have experienced it.
