SUPPORT PERSONS:

Project Work is committed to ensuring all support persons are welcome at our office.  In fact,
Project Work encourages people to have their support person accompany them during the intake
process. When providing service to a person with a disability who uses a support person, staff
must speak directly to the person with the disability, and not the support person. Initial contact
by the staff must be made with the person accessing the programs or services; additional
information may be sought from a support person with the permission or the person contacting
the agency. Additionally, when confidential information is going to be discussed, staff must
confirm with the person we are providing service to that they are comfortable having the
discussion in front of their support person.
