Proposed Bylaw Amendments Approved for Circulation
Council reviewed and approved circulation of proposed amendments to the bylaws, which are required to ensure consistency with legislative changes. Although the proposed revisions are already in effect due to changes to the
Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 (RHPA), the RHPA requires the College to circulate the proposed bylaw amendments to registrants. The bylaw consultation will open in March 2018. Details about the specifics of the proposed revisions including specific changes to the RHPA giving rise to their proposal will be included in the consultation.
Bylaw Amendments Approved
Council reviewed and approved minor changes to the bylaws. Amendments support the use of consistent language throughout the bylaws. All references to the formerly used phrase "that relates to the Registrant's practice of occupational therapy" in sections 5.03.1(i)(iii), 6.01.3(h)(iii), and 12.01.1(i)(iii), changed to the phrase "relevant to the Registrant's suitability to practise occupational therapy" which is already used in Part 17 of the bylaws.
Current bylaws are available online.
Draft Standards for Supervision of Students
Council approved the draft Standards for Supervision of Students for stakeholder consultation, which will begin in spring 2018. The current
Standards for Supervision of Students remain in effect and are available online under Standards & Resources.
Draft Standards for Psychotherapy
