Wis. Admin. Code Department of Health Services DHS 61.46 - Protective services
(1) Protective services are a system of
continuing socio-legal services designed to assist individuals who are unable
to manage their own resources or to protect themselves from neglect, abuse,
exploitation or degrading treatment and to help them exercise their rights as
citizens. This system ensures that no right of a person with a developmental
disability shall be modified without due process. It must be emphasized that
insofar as protective services are concerned, it is not the services that are
distinctive but rather the individual for whom the services are intended, along
with reasons why the services are being provided.
(2) Protective services shall be provided
under applicable sections of chs. 48, 54 and 55, Stats., and applicable
sections of the department's administrative code.
(3) If any developmental disabilities
services are provided as part of protective services, they shall comply with
the appropriate standard.
