Supporting you through COVID-19

The Canadian Centre for Child Protection (Canadian Centre) is offering resources and information to help keep families, schools, child-serving organizations, and, most importantly, children safe during this unprecedented time.

With school closures due to COVID-19, children who are at home will potentially have more unrestricted time online. The Canadian Centre, through its program Cybertip.ca, is urging families to have conversations about internet safety and to work together to implement strategies that ensures everyone’s digital well-being.
