NOTICE
As of November 19, 2024, we are currently processing applications received on October 4, 2024. This information is updated every Tuesday and Friday.
Any person may apply for a Child Abuse Registry check or an Adult Abuse Registry check to determine if his or her name is listed on either registry.
Employers are encouraged to use these registries along with other protective strategies like criminal records checks and human resource practices to supplement their screening and reference check processes.
The use of these registries helps reduce abuse and/or neglect by providing organizations with information that can prevent registered individuals from working with children and adults living with an intellectual disability in the future.
Select one of the buttons below to access a form and to learn more.
The Protection for Persons in Care Office (PPCO) of Manitoba Health receives and investigates reports of suspected patient/resident abuse and neglect under The Protection for Persons in Care Act in designated health facilities. For more information please visit the PPCO website.
Abuse registry checks are different than criminal record checks, which are also important to help protect children and adults living with an intellectual disability. To learn more about the criminal records check process, visit:
- the Winnipeg Police Service website
- the Brandon Police Service website
- the RCMP website
