ADDENDUM: How to apply for a criminal record check (CRC)

The criminal record check is one step in a comprehensive plan to promote the safety and well being of children attending the preschool.  The society undertakes this procedure as part of its legal and social responsibility to demonstrate that it is proactive on these matters. Any conviction arising from domestic violence or child abuse/neglect will preclude participation as a duty parent
