Finally

For years I've complained about the lack of basic protections in the many sheltered workshops in Nova Scotia.  There is no uniform code of conduct for staff and no attempt to educate participants in protecting personal space, consent, relationships, and legal rights and responsibilities.

Serendipitously, I learned that the Nova Scotia Association for Community Living is offering a one day course

Spreading the Word About Healthy Sexuality and Consent for Residential Service Providers

Funded by the Department of Community Services, Innovation Grant, this FREE professional development session is based on the "Doing it Better" curriculum developed by Sexual Heath Nova Scotia and will focus on educating residential service providers across Nova Scotia on strategies that are culturally specific to the Intellectual Disability community.

This particular session (January 31 on Mumford Road) seems full, and it is evidently geared to residential service providers.  Other sessions seem to be planned province-wide

Of course it should be mandatory for any organization providing any services to those with intellectual disabilities, and some version should be offered to participants as well.   But it is a tiny step in the right direction.
