Full text
10. Every disciplinary measure taken by an institution operating a rehabilitation centre in respect of a child must be taken in the child’s interest and in conformity with internal rules that must be approved by Santé Québec, in the case of a Santé Québec institution, or by the board of directors, in any other case. The internal rules must be posted in a conspicuous place in the facilities of the institution. The institution must ensure that the rules are explained to the child and to the child’s parents.
A copy of the internal rules must be given to the child, if he is capable of understanding, and to the child’s parents. A copy of the rules must also be sent to the Commission, to the Minister of Health and Social Services, to the agency and to the institution operating the child and youth protection centre.
The measures provided for in section 393 of the Act respecting the governance of the health and social services system (chapter G-1.021) or section 118.1 of the Act respecting health services and social services for the Inuit and Naskapi (chapter S-4.2), in particular isolation, may never be used as disciplinary measures. The same applies to placement in an intensive supervision unit, as provided for in section 11.1.1 of this Act, and to a measure intended to prevent a child from leaving the facilities maintained by an institution operating a rehabilitation centre, as provided for in section 11.1.2 of this Act.
