National Exclusion Tracker (NET)™

Tracking children’s experiences of exclusion to build a more inclusive Canada

2025/26 Interim National Findings:

The National Exclusion Tracker (NET)™ is where families across Canada can report and track experiences of exclusion faced by children and youth with disabilities and/or complex learning needs in K–12 education and child care/out-of-school care.

Use the Exclusion Tracker to share your child or youth’s story.

If you are a parent or guardian of a child or youth with disabilities and/or complex learning needs in Canada, this is a place to document their experiences of exclusion and ensure they are counted.

Fill out the survey each time your child or youth experiences exclusion.
Exclusion can take many forms—being sent home, not being included in class activities, field trips, extracurricular programs, or being denied access to child care/out-of-school care. If a child or youth feels excluded, it counts. Read more about what exclusion is.
