NOTICE:
On December 6, 2025, all registrants of the College of Dental Hygienists of Nova Scotia (CDHNS), Denturist Licensing Board of Nova Scotia (DLBNS), and Nova Scotia Dental Technicians Association (NSDTA) were sent a draft joint Standard of Practice Regarding Sexual Misconduct and Sexual Abuse for review and feedback (the “Standard”), and were advised that the implementation of this Standard will commence on January 8, 2025.
The Standard has now been finalized, following the conclusion of the consultation period and a legal review of all of the feedback received. We would like to thank those who took the time to read and comment on the Standard.
While the CDHNS, DLBNS, and NSDTA continue to be governed by their respective Acts until migration to the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA) is complete, the RHPA’s General Regulations require all health regulators (including those not yet migrated to the RHPA) to adopt the mandatory standard of practice for sexual misconduct and sexual abuse, with an effective date of January 8, 2025.
