What are primary and secondary contacts?

It is strongly recommended that these contacts are the parents or legal guardians of the resident. As the primary or secondary contact you will serve as an emergency contact. You may also be contacted if any other significant concerns or problems arise with the resident. In the case where the primary contact is unavailable, the secondary contact will be contacted. Once the residence is provided with this contact information, the Manager will notify the primary and secondary contacts, via the supplied e-mail, that they have been identified as primary/secondary contacts for the resident. This e-mail will outline the role and responsibility of the primary/secondary contact and provide the primary/secondary contacts with the opportunity to opt-out of this role.
