The Whitby block parent program has been in effect since 1978, but because of little or no community interest to continue, the program will have to end.
The block parent program encourages people to become involved and aware of what is going on within their local neighbourhood. Block parents provide a safe haven for lost or scared children, but is also available to anyone who may need assistance. Each block parent has a back ground check (including a criminal check) and once approved they are equipped with The Block Parent sign to be displayed in the window of the home.
The biggest challenge facing the program now is the lack of a resident willing to accept the position of Chairperson. The responsibilities of the Chairperson include the following:
- Spreading awareness of the Block Parent Program
- Recruiting more block parent homes
- Ensuring participants are up to date on background checks
