COVID-19 related Critical Incidents
As part of the emergency response to COVID-19, CLBC is working with service providers to implement some new measures to help us to safeguard and support the wellbeing of the individuals we all serve. You can find documents on the Other Relevant Policies page here (under the “Critical Incident Policy” drop down) that provide information and guidance for service providers on critical incident reporting during the COVID-19 pandemic.
