OFFICE OF THE CHILDREN’S LAWYER

Centre York Centre’s policy about the OCL observing visits is that:

• The OCL must contact the centre Executive Director to book a time for such observation in advance. A two week notice is requested.

• The OCL must provide Centre York Centre with consent forms from both parties.

• The OCL must sign a Service Agreement and an Oath of Confidentiality prior to the scheduled visit.

• Centre York Centre staff must be present during the visit.

• If the OCL needs to get a copy of our observation notes, they can do so by following the "request for reports" policy.

• If a report is requested, Centre York Centre will fax the invoice to the OCL office and will allow up to thirty days for payment.
