Ontario Care Collective Standards & Beliefs

As a new association, the Ontario Care Collective is in the process of engaging with stakeholders to develop a comprehensive, meaningful set of Standards & Beliefs. These standards will go beyond those legislated by our licensing Ministry and will aim to promote best practice and the highest quality of services possible.   

OCC’s Standards & Beliefs will specify the criteria against which the performance of persons, programs, and agencies can be measured and will clearly define our collective beliefs about the welfare of individuals receiving service.

The OCC recognizes that its member agencies provide a wide array of services which vary in settings and client populations. The standards are being developed with appreciation and respect for the unique blend of services offered by OCC members. 

These Standards & Beliefs may be viewed as directing principles toward the most desirable, beneficial, effective, and ethical levels of performance. They are being designed to assist OCC members in the development of their policies and practices, in the operation of their day-to-day activities, and to help caregivers understand their respective roles and responsibilities.
