Purpose

To clearly define KidHub’s roles and responsibilities in relation to Child Protection Services.

Policy

KidHub is in full support of the PEI Child Protection Act and we are legally required to comply with any orders given by the agents of Child Protection Services including, but not limited to:

• Releasing information about the child's social, behavioural and emotional state while under our care, to the extent of our experience with the child
• Releasing information about the child's family (including but not limited to: phone numbers, email addresses, physical and mailing addresses, financial history at KidHub, etc.) as provided by parents during the course of the child's enrolment at KidHub, to the extent of our knowledge
• Reporting any and all concerns that the KidHub Teachers may have to Child Protection Services. KidHub does not make any judgements about the validity of these concerns, but rather defers to the judgement of Child Protection Services.
• Providing opportunities for its agents to interview and examine a child under KidHub's care upon request, uphold confidentiality, and, if necessary for the safety of a child, relinquish custody of that child to the care of Child Protection Services.
• Any other orders that fall within the bounds of the PEI Child Protection Act.

Responsibilities

• KidHub Management will report all concerns of possible child abuse/neglect by a parent or guardian to Child Protection Services.
• All KidHub Staff will comply with the PEI Child Protection Act, to the full extent of the law.
