Policy directives and guidelines provide more detailed rules and information that community agencies follow when making decisions about services and supports.

Policy directives and guidelines explain:

• how services and supports work
• what supports are available, and
• the roles and responsibilities of both staff and clients.

The policy directives and guidelines are good places to look if you want more detailed information about a policy or if you need answers for specific questions about the laws.
