| Work Expectations At CPLF |
|
With 2025 now underway I thought it would be a great time for all our stakeholders being guardians, individuals, and staff to understand that CPLF will continue to foster an inclusive work environment that is diverse and equitable. With this, CPLF management will continue to stand up for the rights of individuals, staff, and guardians and that our work is free from emotional abuse, physical abuse, and/or financial abuse and our service is guided by our founding values:
|
|
- Every person is a unique individual having worth, no matter what the degree of disability.
- Every person has the need for self-determination to the greatest extent possible.
- Every person has the right to live a life of dignity.
- Every person should have the opportunity to live as a full member of society in his/her own community.
- Every person is to be empowered to live as independently as possible within their homes.
- Every person has the right to a group of people (family and friends) surrounding them who cares and wants the best for them.
- Every person has the right to be accepted and respected for the person they are.
- Every person has the right to engage in healthy and safe relationships.
- Every person must be treated in an age-appropriate manner.
