Developing Enhanced Safety Plans and Codes of Conduct:
A Guide to Safety Charter Requirements for Family and Group Child Care Homes

In June 2008, Manitoba passed The Child Care Safety Charter, the first comprehensive legislation of its kind in Canada. Under the Safety Charter, family and group child care homes have to develop safety plans and codes of conduct. These requirements strengthen early learning and child care (ELCC) in Manitoba by enhancing safety and positive learning environments.

This resource guide will help child care providers to understand and meet the requirements for developing enhanced safety plans under the Safety Charter.
