Children supervision:
Parents/teachers are required to stay on site with their children. CCEM staff and volunteers cannot assume responsibility for the safety and well-being of children left unattended in the building.
CCEM services are designed to provide a safe and welcoming environment for users but parents/teachers need to use the same caution with their children on McMaster’s campus as they would in any other public setting.
Responsibility for the welfare and the behaviour of children at CCEM ultimately rests with the parent/legal guardian/teachers or an assigned caregiver. CCEM recognizes the terms as stipulated in the Ontario Child and Family Services Act (CFSA) with regard to the supervision of children.
