Does Part X affect the duty to report suspected child abuse or neglect to a children’s aid society?

March 6, 2020

Nothing in Part X — or in Ontario’s other privacy laws — stands in the way of the duty to report suspected child abuse or neglect to a children’s aid society. Individuals and service providers can continue to make such reports, which are required by law, without consent. Children’s aid societies can continue to indirectly collect information, without consent, to support the duty to report.
