Welcome to the Community Watch Child Protection Worker Registry.

The Registry has been developed as a service to consumers and hosts a listing of names of persons who work for or are associated with the various child protection agencies in Canada.  All names on the Registry are posted directly on to the Registry by members of the public.  All members of the Canadian public who have had dealings with any person working for or associated with a child protection agency in Canada are encouraged to participate in this collaborative effort by sharing their experiences and opinions about child protection workers in Canada.  We encourage readers to post both complaints and/or recommendations about individuals they are currently dealing with or have dealt with in the past.  This registry is to allow Canadians to share their opinions based on their dealings with those involved with child protection anywhere in Canada. 

As there is currently no way for the public to find out about general complaints made against workers in the child protection industry, the purpose of the registry is to help protect the public's interest by promoting greater consumer awareness about those individuals who work with or in cooperation with various child protection agencies in Canada.  This registry is strictly limited to the listing of those persons involved with child protection agencies in Canada only.  This list can also include the names of lawyers who work for or represent a child protection agency in Canada although readers are also encouraged to register the names of any lawyer on the Canadian Lawyer Registry.  

When entering information on the form, please make your comments detailed, helpful and polite and tell other readers why you rated the worker as you did. Libelous or very short comments which do not explain your posting will be deleted. Further, this is not a forum for reporting illegal activity by child protection workers unless you can provide supporting evidence to support your claims. Remember, the most effective use of this site is to allow Canadians to give their fellow Canadians a "heads up" about those persons working within the child protection industry in Canada without having to publicly provide intimate details of individual cases.  Most persons who make postings on the Registry indicate that they are willing to share their experiences with others in a more private manner outside of the Registry.

While the identity of those who make complaints is not viewable, this information will be verified by Registry representatives through telephone contact with the person making the complaint.  Where complaints are of a serious nature, those who file complaints may be required to submit documentation for filing with the Registry.

To balance the need of privacy of the individuals identified on this list yet protect the public's interest regarding the delivery of services to the public, more specific information about the nature of the complaints against those on the Registry can be obtained only upon the request to those who contact Canada Court Watch to identify themselves and can provide a valid reason for wanting such information.  Those who make complaints about any person on this list are required to identify themselves although their names of those who submit entries will be kept in strictest of confidence.  In the event of a large number of similar complaints about a particular agency or worker which may indicate that the public's interest is being adversely affected, those who have submitted information will be provided with the opportunity to communicate with other persons who have complained for the purposes of a possible civil or class action lawsuit.

Please note: If you are a person whose name appears on the Registry and feel that a complaint has been recorded against you in error or maliciously by someone acting without just cause, then you may request that your name be removed from the Registry.   Requests to remove names should be made to: info@canadacourtwatch.com or by phone at (416) 410-4115.  Should you wish to have an entry against your name reviewed, a review of your file will be conducted  by a six member Family Justice Review Committee.  The person who originally posted the complaint will also be be given the opportunity to make a presentation or submission if they feel that it is in the public's interest to have the name remain on the Registry.  Pleased be advised that any person who becomes aware of their name being on this Registry and who does not request in writing that their name be removed is deemed to have accepted that their name has been posted to the Registry in good faith based on reasonable and just cause.

If you are a person who feels that the comments expressed by some members of the public are just isolated incidents and do not accurately reflect the overall quality of services you have provided to members of the public, then simply ask members of the public who have been satisfied with services you have provided, to submit their recommendations and comments as well. This site is for the expression of all opinions, both good and bad.  It is hoped that this site will promote greater accountability and greater professionalism by those who work in the child protection industry in Canada.
