Which statement about roles in the rights investigation is true?

• A. Only the recipient can initiate.
• B. The rights advisor conducts investigations and reports findings.
• C. The supervisor determines outcomes without investigators.
• D. Clients are never interviewed.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is who leads and carries out the rights investigation. The statement that the rights advisor conducts investigations and reports findings captures this role: a trained rights advisor is responsible for gathering facts, interviewing the recipient and others, reviewing relevant records, and producing a formal report with findings and recommendations. This ensures the process is objective, thorough, and documented.

Investigations aren’t limited to the recipient initiating them, and the supervisor doesn’t usually determine outcomes without the investigative findings to guide decisions. After the investigation, the supervisor may decide on actions, but those actions are based on the investigator’s report. Also, interviews are a standard part of the process, so clients are typically interviewed to hear the recipient’s perspective.
