Can I keep my licence to teach if I don’t complete the Sexual Abuse Prevention Program?

Ontario Certified Teachers whose Sexual Abuse Prevention Program is “Incomplete” at 12:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, will be subject to administrative suspension.

Individuals who are administratively suspended will not be eligible to teach in Ontario’s publicly funded education system until they restore their licence to good standing. They can restore their licence to good standing by successfully completing the Sexual Abuse Prevention Program and paying the reinstatement fee.

Support and accommodations are available to OCTs who may need them. To learn more about available options, please contact the Canadian Centre for Child Protection via their website at protectchildren.ca.
