DISCIPLINE POLICIES
PERSONAL RIGHTS APPLIES TO ALL FACILITY CATEGORIES
GROUP HOMES AND FOSTER FAMILY AGENCIES ONLY
The applicant shall describe the types of discipline that will be used and under what conditions each
type will be used. The discipline policies shall also address the following, when appropriate:
Types of discipline not permitted
NO CORPORAL PUNISHMENT/VIOLATION OF PERSONAL RIGHTS
Provisions for contact with parents/placement representatives (conferences)
Grounds for dismissal/eviction/relocation/removal from placement
NOTE: Prone containment and like techniques shall not be included as part of the facilities discipline
policy nor written into individual client’s needs and services plan. Such techniques are not to be a
planned step in modifying behavior. They are considered to be only last resort emergency physical
control techniques designed to prevent injury to bystanders, the assaultive client, other clients, and
staff.
The Department will evaluate the discipline policies to ensure that these policies do not violate
personal rights and that there is a clear statement that there will be no corporal or unusual
punishment used. If there is reason to believe that the applicant does not understand what
constitutes corporal punishment or a violation of personal rights, or the statements have not been
made clear, then further information may be requested.
