Disclosure procedure builder

Most safeguarding policies say to report concerns appropriately. Almost none of them tell a specific person what to do on a specific Tuesday, when a child has just said something and an adult is standing there deciding what their face should do.

What this produces

A written procedure with your organization\'s name on it, your people in it, your phone numbers in it, and today\'s date on it. Print it, sign it, put it where staff can find it at nine on a Saturday night.

It covers the legal duty where you operate, the first ninety seconds after a child speaks, exactly what to write down, who calls and when, what to do if the concern is about someone who works for you, and the first week.

Nothing you type here is transmitted, stored or logged.

The tool runs entirely in your browser. We do not receive your organization's name, your staff names, your numbers, or the fact that you used this page at all. There is no analytics on this site. If you close the tab without printing, it is gone.

Your organization
This determines the legal duty section.
Your people

Use real names and real numbers. A procedure that says “the designated person” is a procedure nobody follows at nine on a Saturday.

Also the route if a concern involves the safeguarding lead.
Who you call
In Ontario, find yours through the OACAS directory.
This is the field most organizations leave vague, and the one most likely to matter.

Leave anything blank and it appears in the document as a marked gap you can fill in by hand — a visible blank is safer than a confident guess.

What this tool will not do

  • It is not legal advice. It is a template built from published statute. Someone qualified in your jurisdiction must review it before you adopt it.
  • It will not write your whole safeguarding policy. A disclosure response procedure is one part of one. It does not cover recruitment, supervision, codes of conduct, or record retention.
  • It will not make your staff ready. A document is not training. An organization whose staff have read a procedure and never practised it will still freeze.
  • It will not invent law we have not read. Where we have not verified the statute for your jurisdiction, the tool leaves that section blank and tells you to fill it in, rather than producing something plausible.

Have it reviewed and certified

We review the procedure you generate against the standard, check it against the law where you operate, test it with your named people, and certify it for two years. Certified organizations are listed in a public registry with the date of their review.
