Here's who we report to in Saskatchewan which clearly states 'anyone' who suspects child abuse/neglect (not anyone who is certified/qualified) must report it. I'd like to know if this judge thinks daycare workers in Saskatchewan are 'not allowed' to report since he'd be taking on the provincial government here. I think he made his judgement based on his personal opinion and not laws/facts. I'd see what the methods of reporting abuse/neglect is in each province (I'm sure they all state we must report), that would be good info to support your appeal!
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.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
