Custody Conflicts

CUSTODY CONFLICTS

If ever the non-custodial parent is in breach of the legal custody agreement; we do not release the child unless the primary parent gives us written permission (if there is a primary parent). If there is no written permission the primary parent will be notified immediately.

If a situation should arise in which TOPP KIDS feels that the safety of any educators or program participants is compromised, the authorities and the CEO will be notified.

TOPP KIDS educators will not refuse access of a child to a parent without a court ordered custody agreement in place.

If a non-custodial parent removes their child from the program illegally, or is anyway in conflict with the existing custody agreement, educators will:

• Call 9-1-1.
• Notify the custodial parent.
• If custodial parent is unreachable, call emergency contacts.
• Report to Program Coordinator and Program Support Manager.
• Report to licensing immediately, follow their direction in regard to incident reporting.
• An Incident Report (Licensing) is to be completed by educators.
