ELECTRONIC MONITORING
Guardian consent and approval from the Human Rights Committee (HRC) will be
obtained for the use of video recording for any Individuals residing in a DDS group
home. Any Individual who lives and participates in a program has a video camera
installed, or their representative/guardian may request a review of the video camera
use at any time by the DDS HRC.
An Individual, an Individual’s legal representative, or another person who is
visiting or working with the Individual who is not an employee of WDLT may
request a video or audio device be turned off if private or confidential information
is being discussed in a location where there are such devices. WDLT shall make
every reasonable effort to accommodate these requests.
No video or audio device shall be placed in a bathroom, bedroom, or other personal
care area except for an Individual who requires monitoring in these private areas
for specific health or safety reasons. Access to any video or audio recordings of
these private areas shall be restricted to approved WDLT staff.
Any area where an Individual’s private medical information is located or can be
accessed will be monitored in a way protecting this information from being seen,
heard or recorded by an audio or video device.
