Training module: rights and freedoms of elder persons This module contains explanations and assignments concerning rights and freedoms as they apply to elder persons. We believe that self-directed distance learning through the Internet is an additional way to provide quality training to individuals who cannot participate in a seminar or who live in remote areas. For this kind of distance learning, we suggest a three-step approach based on the following: •  I read and learn... Look at some statistics on the situation of elder persons. Refer to the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms:   A general outline Fundamental freedoms and rights Economic and social rights Right to equality and non-discrimination Functions of the Commission Procedure of investigation Investigations in 2003 The right to protection against exploitation Right Risk factors How the Commission proceeds Complaints •  I practice...   Assessing your knowledge by participating! A 20-item quiz: true or false A 10-item quiz: true or false for CLSC - Long-term Care Centres personnel Two case studies involving exploitation of elder persons •  I surf and search...   Increase your knowledge by consulting documents distributed by the Commission and using various links related to the situation of elder persons.
