The plan shall provide an assurance that no member of such Council will cast a vote on any matter that would provide direct financial benefit to the member or otherwise give the appearance of a conflict of interest.”
–Section 124 ( c ) ( 5 ) ( D ) .
Let’s explore what the DD Act defines as assurances and public perception.
Carla: “The Council must provide assurances that members will not gain (or make it appear that they are gaining) from their role on the Council. But how do they provide these assurances? Select the next topic below to continue.”
Suppose you are a member of the Council and a member of an organization applying for Council funds. In that case, you should prioritize the Council’s goals and objectives.
Carla: “Councils value the active participation of stakeholders, state agencies, DD Act agencies, allied professionals, and the leaders in disability rights. However, active participation in these activities can sometimes create a real or perceived conflict of interest. In this lesson, we’ll examine a conflict of interest through examples of how it can occur and policies protecting the Council and its members. Select topic 1 below to continue.”
Hi! I am Dazia, we are now going to take a look at several SOPs related to the home and living of an individual under guardianship. This includes owning pets, traveling out of state, and moving.
You will be able to download each SOP to your desktop for future reference. Some SOPs will have a scenario to provide more context or details. These are an opportunity for you to practice what you are learning.
Several SOPs will be reviewed, and there will be an opportunity for a brain break.
Congratulations! You have completed DAIL 110: Guardianship Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) Part 1! Please note that your supervisor may have follow-up questions or need more information. Please respond to any requests promptly.

Hi! I am Simon, and I am going to review some of the SOPs that you will use when working as a Guardian. The SOPs that I will be reviewing are related to the medical, health, and safety needs of an individual under guardianship. This includes reporting incidents, health care needs, and life-saving measures.
You will be able to download each SOP to your desktop for future reference. Some SOPs will have a scenario to provide more context and details about the SOP. These are an opportunity for you to practice what you are learning.
We will be reviewing several SOPs, but don’t worry; we will offer opportunities for brain breaks.
There are thirty six (36) Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that give general guidelines for the operation of the Division of Guardianship Services. SOP Part I is broken up into 3 lessons: SOPs related to working with an individual; medical, health and safety-related SOPs; and home and living-related SOPs.
Each SOP should be read in its entirety. As you progress, make a list of any questions you may have to discuss with the DAIL trainer.
Course Goals
By the end of the course participants will be able to:
Learning Goal #1 Identify SOPs used in work as a guardian.
Learning Goal #2 Examine SOPs as they relate to real life scenarios.

Hi! I am Ronnie, and I am going to be discussing some of the SOPs that you will use when working as a Guardian. The SOPs that I will be reviewing are related to working with an individual under guardianship. This includes things like is a person eligible, maintaining records, and use of state vehicles.
You will be able to download every SOP to your desktop for future reference, and some SOPs will have a scenario to provide more context and details about the SOP. These are great opportunities to practice what you are learning.
We will review many SOPs, but don’t worry. There will be several opportunities for brain breaks.
The capacity and depth of needed services and supports for individuals under guardianship cannot be met by state guardianship alone.
Through a wide range of statewide community partners, individuals under guardianship are supported by a comprehensive network of service providers. During this training we will identify some of the more common agencies guardianship collaborates with and the services they provide. The examples given throughout this course are not complete lists.
Congratulations! You have completed DAIL 115: Medical Consents! Please note that your supervisor may have follow-up questions or need more information. Please respond to any requests promptly.

Certain procedures carry a high risk of long-term, life-altering effects. These procedures must be authorized by the Guardianship nurse consultants, followed by approval by court processes. This lesson will focus on medical consents requiring court approval.
Emergency Consent only applies to procedures that would otherwise require OLS Approval (removal of a bodily organ, amputation of a limb, sterilization, or abortion).
The physician must complete the Physician’s Affidavit of Emergency Need for Emergent Removal of a Bodily Organ, Amputation of a Limb, Sterilization, or Abortion.
By signing the form, the physician is stating that the procedure will be performed within 24 hours and is emergently necessary in order to preserve the individual’s life OR to prevent serious impairment of their physical health.
NOTE: The most up-to-date form is available on the shared guardianship drive.
Once the guardian receives the completed form back, the guardian will forward the documentation and request for Emergency Procedure to their supervisor.
The supervisor will consult with the branch manager.
If it is determined that emergency criteria is met, the supervisor will give consent, document who consent was given to, and enter an event in KYGFIS addressing all the required information.
The guardian or supervisor will attach the physicians’ affidavit as a file to the event.
The Guardian will enter an outcome once the procedure is complete.
“Time for a knowledge check on important information covered in this course. Please answer each question to the best of your ability. A minimum passing score of 80% is required to complete this course.
