Components of a Successful Replication

Providing a framework for promptly and effectively recognizing, reporting, and responding to abuse committed against persons with disabilities is key to successfully replicating the Building Partnerships for the Protection of Persons with Disabilities Initiative (BPI). Identifying and coordinating the roles of collaborative partners who serve persons with disabilities in a jurisdiction and addressing statutory and regulatory authority for implementation is essential to developing your own collaboration.

Several components are necessary for developing, implementing, and sustaining a successful partnership:

• Level of interest.
• Steering committee.
• Memorandum of understanding.
• Training.
• Evaluation.
