You may be required to provide relevant medical documentation that will assist us to respond to your request. This information will not be disclosed except where necessary to respond to your request for accommodation.

Family care

The objective of the PSAC Family Care Policy is to remove one of the barriers which prevents participants from participating fully in Union activities and which provides for the reimbursement of family care expenses. A copy of the policy is available on the PSAC website here.

On-site childcare is intended to remove a barrier to participation at the Summit and is provided only for those who could not otherwise attend, had the service not been available. Requests must be received no later than Wednesday, February 12, 2025.

If there are any requests by participants, on-site childcare will be provided at the Summit for the activities outlined in the agenda.
