Mission Statement


Involving current and former child-welfare service clients in the process of improving the quality and accountability of child-welfare services through a strong, united voice.

We are currently involved in legal action against the local Child Protection Authorities as we fight for children and youth in care to have equal rights as existing members of the corporation. Read more on our Enforcement page at our website.
