HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS FACTSHEET:

In 2023, the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community & Social Services conducted the first legislative review of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017 (CYFSA). The CYFSA governs many of the child, youth, and family services that are delivered by the Ministry. The CYFSA
requires a review of the legislation every five years.

The review process focused on six key areas: child and youth rights, Indigenous peoples, equity and anti-racism, prevention and community-based care, quality services, and accountability.

In October 2024, the Ministry released a report providing an overview of the main themes that emerged. This factsheet summarizes five key takeaways from the report.
