ADULT ABUSE REGISTRY
The proposed Adult Abuse Registry would help by:
• effectively screening potential employees and volunteers by employers,
• providing added assurance to vulnerable people and their families,
• pre-screening substitute decision-makers under the Vulnerable Persons Living with a Mental Disability Act prior to an appointment,
• improving confidence in the service system,
• acting as a deterrent to people who have a history of abuse from applying for jobs with vulnerable people, and
• generating increased awareness about protecting vulnerable adults.
Statistics
• Manitoba Family Services and Consumer Affairs provides funding to over 100 community agencies that serve adults with intellectual disabilities.
• Approximately 4,500 staff are employed with community agencies.
• Over 5,000 adults with intellectual disabilities are served by community agencies across the province.
• Since 1996, an average of 180 allegations of abuse or neglect against adults with intellectual disabilities has been investigated annually.
• An average of 34 allegations of abuse and neglect are referred to police each year.
• A range of one to eight criminal charges have been laid each year since 1996.
Stronger enforcement, penalties and the proposed Adult Abuse Registry are designed as additional tools to identify and hold people who abuse or neglect adults with intellectual disabilities responsible for their actions.
