Summary Statement

Adult Protective Services (APS) will make every effort to attend all scheduled Adult Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Multidisciplinary Team (A/N/E MDT) meetings.

Basic Considerations

In accordance with O.C.G.A §30-5-11(c)(1) “Each Adult Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Multidisciplinary Team shall meet regularly, as determined by the district attorney or his or her designee; provided however, that meetings shall be held at least semiannually”.

Procedures

Whenever possible, for the purpose of consistency and continuity, the designated APS representative to the A/N/E MDT shall attend all scheduled meetings. When the designated A/N/E MDT representative is unavailable a substitute APS representative shall be in attendance.

  • Name;

  • Focus;

  • Time spent; and

  • Number of people in attendance
