How confidential is a juvenile’s participation in the Diversion program?

No information concerning a juvenile’s participation in the Diversion program is made public.  Diversion records are confidential and are not disseminated to other entities.  As a component of supervision Diversion Officers do confirm and discuss a juvenile’s attendance and progress with school personnel and law enforcement.  Additionally, with consent from parents/legal guardians, Diversion Officers also discuss cases with counsellors, therapists, and other treatment providers in order to monitor compliance with the conditions of Diversion.
