Full text
81.2.17. When a minor works or is regularly present as a trainee or volunteer while childcare is being provided in a permit holder’s facility or in a residence where childcare is provided, the permit holder or the home educational childcare provider must ensure that either of the following requirements is met:
(1)  the minor, when in the presence of children receiving childcare, is accompanied at all times by a person of full age who holds an attestation establishing that no impediment exists; or
(2)  the minor is the holder of a document, that the minor carries with them when present in the facility or in the residence, attesting that verifications carried out in the databases available to a police force do not reveal any information related to the elements listed in the second paragraph of section 81.2.4 concerning the minor.
The document referred to in subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph must have been issued two years earlier or less by a police force at the request of the educational institution that the minor attends or at the request of the permit applicant or permit holder or of the home educational childcare coordinating office. The minor who holds that document, and who is charged with or found guilty of a criminal offence related to the elements referred to in the second paragraph of section 81.2.4, must immediately notify the permit holder or the home educational childcare provider of that fact.
A person referred to in the first and second paragraphs may, on the same conditions and despite any provision to the contrary, continue to work or be regularly present as a trainee or volunteer in the facility of a permit holder or in the residence where childcare is provided as of the date of their eighteenth birthday if an application for an investigation establishing that no impediment exists concerning the person was made three months or less before that date, until the process referred to in sections 81.2.1 to 81.2.9 has been completed. In such a case, the investigation must be conducted by the police force after the person’s eighteenth birthday.
