If Procedural Safeguards are offered to parents, can parents refuse a copy?
YES. If Procedural Safeguards are offered at the ARD/IEP meeting and the parents turn them down, document efforts made to give them another copy. For initial admission into special education, ensure that the parents are given a copy and an explanation of their Procedural Safeguards. Denote by checking the appropriate box on Procedural Safeguards Log and note each time a Procedural Safeguards is given.
