About this service
Block Parents are responsible adults who care sufficiently about the well-being of children and others to volunteer their homes as a temporary refuge in an emergency. All Block Parents are screened by the police and are given instructions on the program by local volunteers.
In addition to the primary goal of making communities safer for children, the Block Parent Program deters criminals and trouble makers. The network of Block Parent homes is a visible reminder that citizens are watchful in their neighborhood.
A Block Parent may be called upon to offer their home as a place of safety when someone is in a dangerous or frightening situation:
- bullied
- lost, hurt or ill
- caught in severe weather
- frightened by a stranger
A Block Parent assists persons in distress by telephoning the appropriate emergency service (police, fire, ambulance, etc.) when necessary.
