Many parents like to support their children’s schools by volunteering their time and services.  These opportunities include:  chaperoning a class trip, reading with students, assisting a teacher in the classroom, and coaching a sports team. Prior to volunteering with the Halifax Regional School Board, all volunteers must provide:

1. A completed Child Abuse Register Search or completed Child Abuse Register Request for Search (Form A) which can be found at:

http://www.gov.ns.ca/coms/families/abuse/ChildAbuseRegister.html

This search must be updated every three years;

2. A certified and true copy of a criminal records check completed in the three months preceding volunteering.

This check must be updated every three years.

Copies of both documents must be on file in the school office.
