Parental Consent for Administration of Potassium Iodide

Dear Parents/Guardians:

In the event of a serious accident at either the Pickering or Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, radioactive material may escape from the Station. One type of radioactive material that may be released are radio iodines. If radioiodines are inhaled, they are absorbed by the thyroid gland. The ingestion of potassium iodide (Kl) pill will minimize the amount of radioiodine taken by the thyroid.

Programs will be advised to either shelter in place, or evacuate depending on the situation. It is expected that there will be plenty of time to close the centre and evacuate your child before radiation exposure occurs. A decision has been made to pre-distribute potassium iodide (K 1) pills to all schools and child care programs within a 10 kilometre radius of the nuclear generating stations.

Durham Region Children's Services has notification procedures to alert each child care program in case of a nuclear emergency. The Provincial authorization to administer Kl and the dosage instructions will be broadcast by designated radio and television stations. We have been instructed that the issue of these pills is subject to the direction of the Province.

There may be some reaction to potassium iodide pills for individuals allergic to iodine. For this reason, it is important for parents to notify the child care centre if they know/suspect their child may have an allergic reaction. The use of potassium iodide is voluntary. Therefore, we request that you confirm your wishes regarding the administration of Kl to your child on the attached form and return it promptly to the childcare centre.

In the event that we are required to evacuate, you will be notified. If we need to evacuate with your child, Umbrella will follow direction from personnel emergency services.

Jane O'Meara, RECE
Executive Director
Umbrella Central Day Care Services

Disruption of Services

The following procedure outlines the actions that are to be taken in the event of inclement weather.

Should the Board of Education make the decision to close schools due to weather conditions, Umbrella programs will close as well.

It is recommended that you check for closures through television, radio and the school website.

If possible, please consider leaving work early or make arrangements for your emergency contact to pick up your child from the program. Your patience and understanding is appreciated.

Special Needs Resourcing (SNR) Support Services

Services and agencies within Special Needs Resourcing aim to support Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECE’s) and educator teams across Durham Region in their professional practice.

The purpose of the SNR agencies in Durham is to offer resources for educators in the process of building their capacity to support all children, regardless of ability or background, within their early learning and care programs.

The goal is to ensure that educators feel supported during potential situations where additional resources and/or personnel are required.

Staff from the SNR agencies work with early learning teams, in child care settings, to support the development of individual support plans (ISP’s) and inclusive practices for children and families. If individual support plans are required to support a child, parents/guardians consent will be required.

List of all Durham Region SNR Agencies

❖	Resources for Exceptional Children and Youth (RFECY)
❖	Durham Behaviour Management Services (DBMS)
❖	Preschool Outreach Program (POP), Grandview Children’s Centre
❖	Infant and Child Development (ICD)
❖	Blind/Low Vision Team, Surrey Place Centre
❖	Region of Durham Children’s Services Division: Quality Assurance Advisors and Training Specialists

SNR PROGRAM/AGENCY	OVERVIEW OF SERVICES
Resources for Exceptional Children and Youth (RFECY)	RFECY services provide general and ongoing support to educators across a broad spectrum of topics in the form of resources, training, and hands-on coaching, with the overall goal of building capacity in professional practice. Educators will receive ongoing inclusive support in the form of onsite consultation from their Early Learning Inclusion (ELI) consultant, who can aid in initiating/supporting referrals to additional SNR agencies, ISP development, implementations of general or child specific strategies, creation and monitoring of a Collaborative Action Plan and Case Management. Support with referral for Enhanced support funding/staffing if necessary.
Preschool Outreach Program (POP), Grandview Children's Centre	POP assists in connecting the child and family to clinical assessments at Grandview to support educators in the early learning environment. The program supports educators in their inclusive practice by providing child-specific recommendations related to development in the areas of communication, fine & gross motor development, sensory processing, and daily living skills. POP does not offer general room consultations or assessments, or direct clinical therapy for a child within the child care environment.
Durham Behaviour Management Services (DBMS)	DBMS provides behaviour consultation in the form of recommendations and direct coaching for educators in early learning environments, with the goal of reducing challenging behaviours and increasing functional skills displayed by an individual child or group of children. Educators may request general behaviour support for an entire room environment, or child-specific consultations to target significant behaviour concerns.
Infant and Child Development (ICD)	ICD provides specific strategies and recommendations for educators to support the transition of a child with developmental concerns or disabilities from the home environment to the early learning setting. ICD specialists complete a full transition process with the educator team through observations, consultations, and active coaching. ICD specialists support educators in their connection with other SNR service providers for ongoing support for the child within the early learning environment.
Blind-Low Vision, Surrey Place	Blind-low vision consultants provide support to educators in the form of recommendations and strategies to ensure a child with a vision impairment has a successful transition from the home environment to the early learning setting. Consultants are able to provide potential next steps and ideas for educators to implement in support of children with either a visual diagnosis, or children who may have potential vision needs. A diagnosis is not required for general recommendations and supports related to vision concerns. A pre-referral consultation may be completed if questions arise relate to the child’s visual functioning.
Quality Assurance (QA) Advisors Training Specialists	QA advisors support early learning programs by assessing the quality of the environments and following up with potential recommendations to improve the quality of care. Yearly assessments are completed for centres with a Purchase of Service Agreement using Durham Region's Operating Criteria (DROC) tool. Where required, QA’s may refer a centre to the Training Specialist team for intensive support to meet DROC expectations.

Parent Code of Conduct

Parents, guardians, volunteers, staff and/or Board Members must be treated courteously, impartially and respectfully at all times. This applies to grounds protected by the Ontario Human Rights Code. We must treat others fairly regardless of race, creed, ethnic origin, citizenship, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability. Adults are expected to model appropriate conduct, refraining from behaviours such as swearing, name-calling, shouting, etc. Any individuals engaging in this type of behaviour will be asked to immediately leave the premises. Failure to comply may result in police intervention.

As per Umbrella's "Parent/Guardian Impairment Policy," if a staff suspects that a parent or individual picking up a child is inebriated, impaired or unfit to care for the child, the child will not be released into the person's care.

Confidentiality must be maintained, respecting the privacy of our families, staff and volunteers; therefore, gossip within the centre and/or electronic information sharing will not be tolerated.

Alcohol and illicit drugs are not allowed on centre property or at centre sponsored events. The consequences for failure to comply will include, but are not limited to, the family's expulsion from Umbrella.

There will be consequences for violation of this Code of Conduct, up to and including the dismissal of the child from the Centre. Concerns and comments must be addressed initially to the Director. Should a resolution not be reached with the Director, the issue should then be brought to the attention of the Executive Director and Coordinator and finally, to a member of the Board of Directors.

All parties involved with your child's attendance must sign and adhere to this Code of Conduct set forth by Umbrella Central Day Care Services Inc.

Parent/Guardian Impairment Policy

Umbrella Central Day Care Services is committed to creating a safe environment for children, families, staff, and volunteers. As part of our parent code of conduct, Umbrella has implemented a Parent/Guardian Impairment Policy. The purpose of this policy is to ensure the safety of both parents and children in our program.

This policy outlines the steps that will be taken in the event a parent/guardian arrives at the centre under the influence. Contravention of this policy as per our Parent Code of Conduct will result in consequences which may include removal from Umbrella.

If staff suspects that a parent or individual picking up a child is inebriated, impaired, or unfit to care for the child, the child will not be released into that person's care. The child will remain under the supervision of the program staff, and the staff/supervisor will attempt to contact another authorized person to pick up the child. If no suitable alternate can be found, the Centre Supervisor/Executive Director will be notified and CAS may be contacted if necessary.

The use, sale or possession of alcohol, recreational marijuana, or illegal drugs are not permitted on centre property or at centre sponsored events. The consequences for failure to comply will include, but are not limited to, the family's expulsion from Umbrella.

Umbrella Central Day Care Services Inc. Personal Information Protection And Electronic Documents Act

Effective January 1, 2004, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) went into effect. This Act regulates Umbrella’s collection and use or disclosure of personal information in the course of our activities.

Personal information includes any factual or subjective information, recorded or not, about an identifiable individual. This includes information in any form such as a person’s e-mail address, food allergies, person’s age, home address and so on. It does not include the name, title or business address or business telephone number of an employee of an organization.

Protecting Personal Information

The Executive Director, Coordinator or Centre Director may be delegated to either act on behalf of Umbrella or to take responsibility for occasional collection, use and disclosure of personal information.

We understand the importance of protecting personal information. For that reason Umbrella has taken the following steps.

Paper information is either under supervision or secured in a locked or restricted area.
Electronic hardware is either under supervision or secured in a locked or restricted area at all times. In addition, passwords are used on computers, telephone voice mail, and cell phones
Paper information is transmitted through sealed, addressed envelopes or boxes by reputable companies.

Staff are trained to collect, use, and disclose personal information only as necessary to fulfill their duties and in accordance with our privacy policy.

External consultants and agencies with access to personal information must enter into privacy (confidentiality) agreements with us.

Does Umbrella disclose personal information?

We disclose personal information

To institutions providing Umbrella with payroll and banking services
To assist with collection of outstanding child care fees
To our auditors, and
To third parties for processing of data (e.g. hardware and software support)

Unless required to do so by law, Umbrella does not currently disclose the personal information under its control to any other parties. It does not trade, sell, barter, or give away its client information to anyone. Should it be necessary in the future to make such a disclosure, Umbrella will not do so without the express consent of the individuals involved.

How do individuals provide Umbrella with their consent for the collection, use and disclosure of their personal information?

When families seek the services of Umbrella they provide their personal information expressly through a registration/referral process. Umbrella then has access only to the personal information provided by the client that is required to fulfill the purposes stated above. A client may withdraw their consent at any time upon reasonable notice, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Please note however, that due to our statutory and regulatory obligations withdrawing consent may affect our ability to continue to provide a client with the services they have or would like to receive.

How much personal information does Umbrella collect, use or disclose?

Umbrella collects, uses and discloses the personal information it requires only in order to fulfill the purposes listed above, and no more.

Retention and destruction of personal information

Umbrella only retains personal information fot as long as is required to fulfill the purposes listed above. For example, regulations stipulate that we keep a child's file for two years after they have been discharged from a child care program. However, many of our programs retain information longer than this two year period (for example, programs where children may use the service more than once). The Canada Revenue Agency requires us to keep financial records (e.g. child care billings) for six years plus the current year.

How accurate is the personal information collected, used and disclosed by Umbrella?

Umbrella makes every effort to ensure the personal information it collects, uses and discloses is as accurate and up-to􀁋date as is required to fulfill the purposes listed above. If an individual's personal information requires amendment, they need only contact Umbrella to ensure that the correction is made.

When a file is no longer needed it is either destroyed or all personal identifiers are removed in such a way as to prevent accidenta.1 disclosure.

How secure is the personal information stored at Umbrella?

Umbrella is committed to ensuring that personal information is protected from unauthorized access, unintended disclosures or theft. This protection is provided by firewalls in the computer system, passwords to protect databases, encrypted e-mail, locked filing cabinets and limited access to certain work areas. Only the Centre Coordinator and Centre Director and delegated individuals have access to this information.

We destroy paper files that contain personal information by shredding. We destroy electronic information by deleting it, and when the hardware is discarded, we ensure that the hard drive is formatted to erase any information contained within.

You can look at your information

With some exceptions you have the right to see what personal information we hold about you. Often, all you have to do is ask. Umbrella reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee for the copying of this information.

We will need to confirm your identity, if we do not know you, before providing you with access.

If there is a problem, we may ask you to put your request in writing. If we cannot give you access, we will tell you within 30 days - if at all possible - and tell you the reason, as best we can, as to why we cannot give you access.

If you believe there is a mistake in your information, you have the right to ask for it to be corrected. This applies to factual information and not to any professional opinions we may have formed. We may ask you to provide documentation that our files are incorrect. Where we agree that there is an error, we will make the correction and notify anyone to whom we sent this information. If we do not agree that there is an error, we will still be willing to include in our file a brief statement from you on the point.

Acceptance of policy on collection and use or disclosure of personal information *

I have read and understand the policy on collection and use of personal information

Bag Lunch Policy

In programs which require children to bring a bagged lunch from home, parents are responsible for ensuring the contents are nut-safe and nutritious, following Canada’s Food Guide. Sweet snacks such as candy, cookies and sugary drinks are discouraged as they offer little nutritional value.

Soy butter, also sold as "WOW Butter" is not permitted. Although the product is actually peanut free, it creates a stressor in the classroom for the children with allergies as it looks and smells just like peanut butter.

All bags need to be labelled with the child’s name.

In the event that a child's lunch is forgotten, the parent will be notified. If the parent cannot arrange for a lunch to be brought to the centre, Umbrella will provide fruit and available snacks.

The centre will provide morning and afternoon snacks.

Umbrella is a nut-safe organization and prohibits any foods that may contain even traces of nuts.

Washroom Plan

Outdoor

Before going outdoors, all children will have the opportunity to use the washroom facilities and should be encouraged to do so. If during outdoor time, children need to use the washroom, they will be accompanied inside by a teacher. If there is only one teacher, the whole group will have to go inside. Children will not be allowed in the school from outdoors unsupervised unless they are going directly to another staff inside who has e physical acts against other children and/been notified that they are coming. (i.e. outdoor teacher uses walkie-talkie and notifies indoor teacher that the child is coming to use the washroom.) Kindergarten children will always be accompanied by a teacher.

Indoor

Upon arrival to the school age program, a group washroom routine should be conducted where each child has the opportunity to use the washroom. During program time, school age children can be sent by themselves, or with a buddy depending on their age. Whenever possible, a visual check should be made by the staff in the direction of the school age washroom. The kindergarten children will only use the washroom in the kindergarten classroom. If a washroom is not available in the classroom, the kindergarten children must be accompanied by a staff. If there is only one staff in the program the whole group must go accompanied by the teacher.

Suspension of Services

In the event that a child has been suspended from school, Umbrella Central Day Care Services will not be able to offer care for your child until their school suspension is over. The Durham District School Board and the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board have a policy in place stating that if a child is suspended he or she is not allowed on school property. Umbrella will not allow your child to attend our programs since we are located on school property and we support the Board of Education policies. There will be no fee charged for the days your child is unable to attend our program.

I have read and understand the Suspension of Services policy

Termination Policy

Umbrella Central Day Care Services will make every effort to service all children and their families enrolled in our program. Parents must read and sign the “Parent Code of Conduct” prior to their child starting at the centre.

Umbrella’s Parent Code of Conduct reads:

“Parents, guardians, volunteers, staff and/or Board Members must be treated courteously, impartially, and respectfully at all times. This applies to grounds protected by the Ontario Human Rights Code. We must treat others fairly regardless of race, creed, ethnic origin, citizenship, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability. Adults are expected to model appropriate conduct, refraining from behaviours such as swearing, name-calling, shouting, etc. Any individuals engaging in this type of behaviour will be asked to immediately leave the premises. Failure to comply may result in police intervention.

Confidentiality must be maintained, respecting the privacy of our families, staff and volunteers: therefore, gossip within the centre and/or electronic information sharing will not be tolerated.

There will be consequences for violation of this Code of Conduct, up to and including the dismissal of the child from the centre. Concerns and comments must be addressed initially to the Director. Should a resolution not be reached with the Director, the issue should then be brought to the attention of the Executive Director and Coordinator and finally, to a member of the Board of Directors.

All parties involved with your child’s attendance must sign and adhere to this Code of Conduct set forth by Umbrella Central Day Care Services Inc.”

There may be situations in which the program cannot meet the needs of the child and/or their family. In this case the Directors, Coordinators, and Board of Directors have the right to determine that a child should be withdrawn. The decision will be decided in the best interest of the child with consideration of the safety and well-being of the children and staff. If at any time the safety or well-being of the staff or child is threatened, the Director reserves the right to terminate care immediately. The decision for termination will be based on, but not limited to the following types of incidents;

Extreme physical acts against other children and/or staff
Verbal attacks on other children and/or staff, which include the use of threats, name calling, bullying, etc.
Verbal or physical abuse by a child.

At the onset of problems, the child’s behaviour will be recorded and documented by staff and the Director. Included will be any precipitating incidents. A meeting will be arranged with parents, staff and the Director. Meetings will be scheduled when not disruptive to the program.

If the incident concerns a school age child, an Incident Report Form will be completed by the staff in the classroom. The Incident Report outlines the following: what happened/causes/what led up to the incident and strategies. This form is signed by the teacher, directors and child. The form also asks if this is the first incident and if not, staff are to record the incident number.

Should the parent and staff determine that the child may require additional services, provided by outside agencies, such as Behaviour Management, Resources for Exceptional Children and Youth, etc., the staff will connect the family with the proper services for their child. The Director and staff will reference “No Wrong Door” for direction.
