Canada’s child protection system needs urgent reform. Families deserve fairness, accountability of the system, and the right to independent reviews before life-changing decisions, such as apprehension, are made.
We believe that families should have:
The right to independent assessments and second opinions before life-changing decisions are made
Oversight and accountability in child protection investigations
Stronger protection that balance child safety with family rights
Following the precedents from Texas and Arkansas, Georgia and Florida, all provinces in Canada need
a legal change that would ensure a fair and just system for all families.
