The complainant, a teacher named in two reports made by a third party to the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto about a child in need of protection, sought access to “records of service” relating to himself. CAST refused the complainant’s access request on the basis that it did not provide a “service” to him within the meaning of section 312(1) of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act and, therefore, he has no right of access under the Act. The complainant sought a review of CAST’s decision by the IPC.
The adjudicator upholds CAST’s decision that the complainant has no right of access to the records under section 312(1) of the Act because the records do not relate “to the provision of a service” to him. The adjudicator dismisses the complaint.
