What does “as required by law” mean as it appears on the consent form?
Ontario law requires that certain circumstances, prescribed in the law, be reported to specified authorities. These circumstances are quite limited and very specific. They include specified communicable diseases that must be reported to the Medical Officer of Health and child abuse, neglect or endangerment that must be reported to a Childrens Aid Society. Should you disclose such information to us, we have no choice but to make such a report.
