In BC all staff of daycares have to have their CRC and the same with home daycares and everyone who lives in the house over 18, and you have to renew it every five years , it cost $28 for each check -
if a bad guy has the same date of birth you have to file a more detailed form and that costs $55 and just hope you don't have to do that every 5 years- some parents ask about it but a lot of parents are not even aware of it but it is a requirement to be a licensed daycare or to be ECE or to even volunteer at daycares and schools in BC
I was under the impression that a criminal record check was required for anyone over age 12 in the home?
YOu could be right Daycaremom9 My kids are over 12 a long time ago LOL
funny how in BC we don't even have a copy to display to the parents as it stays filed with the police
so that is different than most part of Canada
OH well it's all for the good of the children to protect them so I don't mind at all
Yeah, I never did understand that. In interviews I just tell the parents that the CRC is kept on file at licensing and have my licensing officer's number attached to the form I had sent in.
Have you heard about the new policy that requires anybody living in the home having to bring ID to the licensing office so they can be sure that we are the people applying for the criminal record check?
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
