Visual Mark Usage

Each registrant with HSCPOA will receive a Visual Mark distinct to PSWs registered with HSCPOA.  This will serve as official identification for registrants under HSCPOA’s oversight, representing trust, quality, and compliance. 

HSCPOA is in the process of registering the Visual Mark in accordance with intellectual property legislation.  HSCPOA will also be developing and publishing use information of the Visual Mark by individuals who are registered with HSCPOA in the coming months.

Anyone who uses the HSCPOA Personal Support Worker (PSW) Visual Mark, must be registered with HSCPOA.

• Authorized registrants must provide proof of registration upon request;
• Protected under Federal Trademarks Act;
• Exclusive use for authorized registrants who meet the registration requirements;
• Unauthorized use strictly prohibited; misuse may result in penalties.

The Visual Mark is a symbol that:

• Represents a commitment to quality care
• Inspires confidence in PSW registrant care recipients;
• Establishes a professional identity.
