ON THE RADAR: Understanding Protection Orders

Re-posted from ON THE RADAR, a publication of Community Legal Education Ontario (CLEO)

There are 2 main types of protection orders people can use when they’re afraid someone is a threat to them or their children. These are:

  • restraining orders, and
  • peace bonds

Protection orders can put limits on where a person can go, who they can communicate with, or both.
