The function of the USS Human Rights Committee is to protect the due process rights of people receiving supports and services. The USS Human Rights Committee reviews the following:

• Individual rights restrictions (money management, freedom of movement, privacy) - assure that any plan that restricts rights includes a plan for restoring those rights and that all rights restrictions are time-limited

• Restrictive behavior support plans

• Allegations and the review of investigations of abuse, neglect and exploitation

• Any use of psychotropic medication

• Issues of informed consent

All USS Members are welcome and encouraged to be present at the USS Human Rights Committee Meeting and have the opportunity to share their wishes.
