SERIOUS OCCURRENCE REPORTING AND PROCDURES
The Ministry of Education (MEDU) has released a new “Serious Occurrence Reporting Procedure”. The process
and the use of the new form will begin July 31/08. This policy will assist child care providers and program staff
with:
• Identifying a serious occurrence
• Responding to a serious occurrence
• Reporting a serious occurrence
IDENTIFY
Serious Occurrence Categories and Definition
MEDU has provided eight categories of serious occurrences to be reported by the service provider to the ministry.
Please note that the examples supplied in each category are meant for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute
an exhaustive list of incidents considered a serious occurrence.
1.
2.
3.
1
Any death of a client which occurs while participating in a service, including all clients receiving
community-based support services that are funded or licensed by the MEDU. As well, include:
• Any child receiving service from a Children’s Aid Society at the time of their death or in the 12
months immediately prior to their death1.
• For further information contact the Ministry at 347 Preston St., 3rd floor, Ottawa, ON K1S 3H8.
Any serious injury to a client which occurs while participating in a service. A factor to consider in
deciding if an injury should be reported as a serious occurrence is whether professional medical treatment
(e.g. doctor or dentist) is required, not in-house first aid. Serious injuries include:
a) An injury caused by the service provider, e.g., lack of or inadequate staff supervision,
neglect/unsafe equipment, improper/lack of staff training, medication error resulting in
injury.
b) A serious accidental injury, e.g. sports injury, fall, burnp, etc.
c) A serious non-accidental injury, e.g., suicide attempt, self-inflicted or unexplained
injury.
Any alleged abuse or mistreatment of a client 2 which occurs while participating in a service, e.g.,
allegations of abuse against staff, foster parents or other foster family members, volunteers, temporary
caregivers, police/court staff while young persons are in custody, drivers providing client transportation.
This category does not include reports of historical abuse divulged by the client that did not occur while
the client was participating in a service.

Directive. March 2006
4.
Any situation where a client is missing in accordance with ministry requirements for applicable program
sectors and any applicable legislative requirements; otherwise, where the service provider considers the
matter to be serious.
SOR’s may include clients missing for less than the prescribed ministry requirement where their absence is
considered serious by the service provider. A child in the care of a CAS or a residential program who has
been missing for 25 hours or more must be reported to the police, and the ministry if appropriate. In child
care centres, the reporting of a missing child to the police must be immediate.
All SORs should describe whether the client poses a serious risk to themselves or others, any attempts
made to locate the client, prior client history of leaving without permission, client’s state of mind before
leaving, precipitating events, etc.
5.
6.
7.
8.
The service provider must advise the ministry once the client has returned, regardless of the date/time, via
telephone or e-mail message.
Any disaster on the premises where a service is provided, that interferes with daily routines, e.g., fire,
flood, power outage, gas leak, carbon monoxide, infectious disease (where public health officials are
involved), lockdown, etc.
Any complaint about the operational, physical of safety standards of the service that is considered
serious by the service provider including reports of adverse water quality. Other examples include reports
of lead exceedence, hazardous/dangerous substances (poisons, flammables), medication error (not resulting
in medical treatment), missing or stolen files, neighbour complaint about noise or physical appearance of
the property (only where municipal authorities are involved), etc.
Any complaint made by or about a client, or any other serious occurrence involving a client that is
considered by the service provider to be of a serious nature, e.g.:
• Police involvement with a client (client charged by police)
• Serious assault by client against staff, peers or community member
• Serious assault by non-caregiver against client, e.g., friend, another client, stranger.
• Hospitalization (excluding regularly occurring doctor visits related to an ongoing medical problem and
any medical ailment occurring as part of the aging process), e.g., pneumonia, suicidal ideation, drug or
alcohol overdose, medical ailment.
• Inappropriate disciplinary techniques, e.g., excessive, non-sanctioned.
• Complaints arising from sexual contact between clients.
The SOR must describe the type of physical restraint used, use of less intrusive interventions before
physical restraint, client and staff debriefing, legal status of the client, duration of the physical restraint,
names of all parties notified, if the use of physical restraint resulted in a) no injury, b) injury, c) allegation
of abuse. (see also: CFSA Regulation 70, 1990 and DSA Regulation 272, 1990)
When more than one physical restraint is used with a client in a 24-hour period, one SOR may be
submitted, describing the physical restraints used in the 24-hour period. Likewise, when physical restraint
is used on more than one day in a 7-day period, one Inquiry report (IR) may be submitted, describing all
incidents.

With regard to Children, see CFSA Sections 37 and 72, with respect to a child in need of protection and the
duty to report.
ENHANCED SERIOUS OCCURRENCE
As of November 1, 2011 there is a new requirement to post serious occurrences in licensed child care programs.
After the reporting has been confirmed a serious occurrence or an enhanced serious occurrence the Serious
Occurrence Notification Form will be filled out and posted in a visible place in the providers’ home for 10 days.
As of January 16, 2006 there are new “Enhanced Serious Occurrence” reporting procedures. Hereinafter, the
“Service Provider” will be Metcalfe Home Day Care.
In the case of an Enhanced Serious Occurrence, call the Metcalfe Home Day Care office (613 821-2899), and leave
a message. Then, call the Enhanced Serious Occurrence contact number left at the end of the outgoing message.
Use this number when calling before 9:00am or after 4:00pm.
All Serious Occurrences will continue to be reported to the Ministry in accordance with the current Serious
Occurrence Reporting Policy and Procedures. (Serious Occurrence Reporting Procedures for Service Providers,
September 2002).
1. In addition, Enhanced Serious Occurrence Reporting procedures will be followed when emergency
services (i.e. police, fire and/or ambulance) are used in response to a significant incident involving a client
of the Ministry of Education, and/or the incident is likely to result in significant public or media
attention.
2. Service Providers are responsible to have procedures in place to ensure there is a Designated Authority
available at all times who will determine when an incident requires Enhanced Serious Occurrence
Reporting and will ensure that necessary actions occur.
3. In these circumstances, the Service Provider’s Designated Authority will ensure that the Ministries’ early
alert system is notified within 1 hour of becoming aware of the incident.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PROVIDERS LOOKING AFTER SUBSIDIZED
CHILDREN
Payments to providers of children who are subsidized are delayed by one month.
An invoice is prepared and mailed to the Ottawa-Carleton Regional Office at the end of each month for care that
was provided during that month (i.e. an invoice for August care is sent August 31st.)
The Region then sends a cheque to the day care. This process can take as long as 6 weeks (i.e. a cheque for August
care would arrive at the end of September of mid-October).
The provider receives a cheque from the day care on September 30th for August care of the subsidized children.
We have tried to ease the provider's burden at the end of the first month of care for the subsidized child by splitting
the first month's pay in half instead of delaying the entire month. An example is as follows:
August care for one child (21 days).....................................................$644.91
Sept. 15 pay cheque (first half of August's)........................................$322.46
Oct. 15 pay cheque (second half of August's)...................................$322.46
Nov. 15 pay cheque (21 days-all of September).................................$644.91
Dec. 15 pay cheque (21 days-all of October)....................................$644.91
As the total amount of subsidized care from the Region is substantial, we regret that delayed payment to our
provider's is necessary.
Thank you for understanding. Please call us if you have any questions.

Delay will begin
.
WITHDRAWAL AND DISCHARGE POLICY
Withdrawal Procedure:
Notice of withdrawal must be submitted to the agency office, and the provider at least two (2) weeks in advance of

guaranteed if you wish to temporarily withdraw your child. Please refer to the Program Statement for more
information.
Discharge Procedure:
Rural Family Connections operating as Metcalfe Home Day Care will give parents a minimum of two (2) weeks
notice that the child will be discharged. Some (but not limited to) possible reasons for ineligibility to remain in the
program could be:

Care will give the provider 2 weeks notice. Some (but not limited to) possible reasons for ineligibility to continue to
provide care could be:

parents/guardian.
• In the opinion of the Executive Director, the program does not or can not meet the needs of the provider.
Date: April 1, 2011
ILLNESS POLICY
There may be times when a child is too ill to go to the care giver’s home. He or she may be too ill to participate in
activities; may be contagious to the other children; or may need more care and attention than the care giver can
provide without compromising the care of the other children. This can be a difficult issue, and it’s an important one
to discuss before your child goes into care. It’s best to keep children home when they are sick, not only to aid in
their recovery but for the sake of the other children in the group. We suggest that you prepare for these situations by
making alternate arrangements for care with a relative or close friend.
Children should be kept home if they have any of the following conditions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A temperature of 101 degrees Fahrenheit or 38.5 degrees Celsius or over;
Vomiting or excessive diarrhea;
Conjunctivitis (pink eye) with yellow or white discharge;
Impetigo, ringworm, or scabies;
Head lice, or pinworms;
Chicken pox, hepatitis A, measles, German measles, mumps, strep throat, tuberculosis, whooping cough;
An undiagnosed rash, especially when combined with other symptoms of illness;
An acute cold, nasal discharge or coughing;
Unusual irritability, fussiness and restlessness.
