Training session | The exploitation of the elderly or people with disabilities and the Charter
This training session goes deeper into a range of concepts linked to exploitation under the Charter: ageism, respect for autonomy, vulnerability, the notion of profit, etc. The complexities of some situations are outlined and analyzed in order to better understand where to turn if you see or believe you are seeing a case of exploitation. Within these contexts, we describe the roles, the powers and the constraints of various actors, including the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse.
