Child Abuse Registry Check

The Provincial Child Abuse Registry Check office has determined that GCWCC no longer meets their criteria to do Child Abuse Registry checks.  As a Community Centre, you will now be responsible for getting your access number and sending in your Registry application. ​

Manitoba Accessibility Legislation

As of November 1, 2018, all organizations with at least one employee must train employees and volunteers who create policies, manage, supervise, or provide customer service. The Disabilities Issues Office has offered free online training on how to provide accessible customer service.  To access other tools, such as the Employers’ Handbook, Sample Accessible Customer Service Policy, or Tips for Employees, please visit Accessibilitymb.ca.  To ensure employee safety, all Manitoba employers with one or more employees must have:

• plans to provide individualized emergency response information to keep employees with disabilities safe; and,

• permission from all employees who require assistance during an emergency to share that information with other individuals in the organization who have agreed to provide support.

The Workplace Emergency Response Information Toolkit includes more information and a sample template to get you started.
