We were reminded of the requirement to have a Child and Youth Risk Strategy for all areas which work with kids in any way.  Napranum shared theirs : https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/57e496d81c882348567cdce7/60f4e42a252d11688c4a40e2_Endorsed%20-%20Child%20and%20Youth%20Risk%20Management%20Plan%20%26%20Policy%20-%20June%202021.pdf
