OBA Child & Youth Law & Education Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: January 19, 2022

When it comes to a child or youth’s records, there can be different rules for different types of records.  What is retained and what is destroyed?  How does a child or youth access their own records?  When can a young person refuse consent to access and what happens when a parent a guardian wants access against a child or youth’s wishes? Can different types of records be disclosed between agencies or institutions?

Unravel the complexities of children and youth records across different arenas, including criminal records, child protection records and education files, with this helpful session.

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear our faculty take you through the ins and outs of children and youth privacy rights and the legal mechanisms available to ensure that they are respected.
