Overview
Intervention Services records contain information
about intervention services that have been
provided to a child. The records are for
determining if a person has caused a child, of
whom they are the guardian, to be in need of
intervention.

Intervention Services records are confidential and

the information can not be released except for the
purposes set out in the Child, Youth and Family
Enhancement Act . The act allows Intervention
Services to give information to someone for the
purpose of providing services to the child. This
would be someone like a teacher, doctor,
psychologist or foster caregiver.

Any person named in a record has the right to

obtain information about themselves that is in the
record under the Freedom of Information and
Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP).

Request a record check

Some organizations require information from an
intervention record check before allowing an
employee or volunteer to work with children.
Intervention Services will complete a check for
you so you do not have to make a formal FOIP
request.

An intervention record check can only be

accepted from the person who is the subject of
the information. Identification is required with a
full legal name and date of birth.

The intervention record check will be released

only to the applicant unless in the case of
adoption where the applicant has provided
consent to release the intervention record
check directly to an agency.
