Section 42.0.1 Disposition versions

2024-06-27

42.0.1. If a home educational childcare coordinating office has reasonable grounds to believe that the health, safety or well-being of children receiving childcare from a home educational childcare provider in a residence is or could be seriously compromised, in particular if the coordinating office considers that the state of the residence or part of the residence constitutes an imminent danger for the children, the coordinating office may, in addition to any other measure that may be taken by the coordinating office or by the Minister and after having notified the parents, order the evacuation of the children receiving childcare from all or part of the residence.

A coordinating office that orders such an evacuation notifies it in writing to the home educational childcare provider who may, within 15 days from the notification, submit observations and produce documents to complete their record in order to allow the coordinating office to review the evacuation order.

If the evacuation is ordered for the whole residence, the recognition of the home educational childcare provider is suspended by operation of law.
