Perguntas frequentes

Do I need a vulnerable sector check to work at a school?

It depends on the role. The employer or organization decides if a position involves trust or authority over children. No federal law requires the check for every job.

Can I tell my supervisor instead of reporting abuse myself?

Tell your supervisor if your site requires it, but the duty to report is personal. Make sure the report reaches the child protection agency directly.

Can a guard detain a young person?

The same arrest and use-of-force laws apply to youth as to adults, but youth have extra protections once police take over. Follow your site's policy and call police.

Are the reporting ages the same everywhere?

No. Child protection laws are provincial and territorial. For example, B.C. covers under 19, Alberta under 18, and Ontario makes reporting mandatory for under 16.

O certificado é acreditado ou reconhecido oficialmente?

Não. É um certificado de conclusão privado, apenas para o seu conhecimento. Não é reconhecido, acreditado nem aprovado por nenhum governo, entidade licenciadora, regulador ou instituição de ensino e não substitui qualquer licença, certificação ou formação exigida por lei.
