Starting in February 2024, the Violence Prevention Program (VPP) will no longer be offered in-person, and all staff will need to take the VPP units on the Learning Management System (LMS).

VPP is a requirement for all staff - the table below outlines which units’ staff are required to take as part of their positions VPP is required every 3 years.

1	Contact with staff and/or minimal contact with patients/clients/residents/visitors.	VPP Units 1, 2, How the Brain Works & Cultural Safety and Trauma Informed Care	2.00 hours
2	Direct hands-on care and/or regular contact with both staff and patients/clients/residents/visitors.	VPP Units 1, 2, 3 (SHSS version), 4, How the Brain Works & Cultural Safety and Trauma Informed Care	3.50 hours

OPTION 1 - LMS

Go to the LMS log in page (Your pop-up blocker must be disabled.)
Create an LMS account (if you don’t already have one). A work email address is required.
Log into the LMS.
Use the Search feature (top right) to find "Violence Prevention" and then click register on the units you are required to take.
After you have registered for the courses, click on the “learning plan” tab to find the course and launch it.
If choosing this option, you do not need to register for the virtual session on the HPS.

* After taking all applicable units on the LMS, staff are required to provide their certificate of completion from the LMS to their manager along with a Request for Leave (RFL) with the total paid time indicated in the table above to be paid for the education. If completing the education while on duty, an RFL is not required.

OPTION 2 - VIRTUAL

For 2024, Staff Development will be offering facilitator led VPP courses via Microsoft Teams. The facilitators will be showing the LMS units virtually so the content will be the same.
This option is for staff who are unable to get onto the LMS and need VPP ASAP.
Staff are encouraged to take VPP on the LMS if able.
Fill out the registration form below to register for the virtual session if you are unable to take VPP on the LMS. The link for the session will be emailed to participants 1-2 weeks prior to the session.

* Staff will be paid for their time in attendance (if completing the education while off duty) for the paid time indicated in the table above.
