OACAS releases Child Welfare Report "Your Children's Aid" - More needs to be done

December 11, 2010: The Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS) released a report on the well-being of children in care. Priorities for change and ideas about what more needs to be done have been identified in the three areas of services: Aboriginal children and families, adoption and youth growing up in care.

The protection and well-being of children is everyone’s business, so Ontarians must be aware of what children and youth need to achieve better outcomes. Ontarians should also know they play an active role in protecting and caring for children by: reporting child abuse and neglect; becoming foster and adoptive parents; and being advocates for change and supporting the recommendations in this report.
