Mitzi Dean, Minister of Children and Family Development, has issued the following statement in response to the representative for children and youth’s investigation announcement on Monday, June 26, 2023:

From Indigenous Services Canada: https://www.canada.ca/en/indigenous-services-canada/news/2023/03/splatsin-canada-and-british-columbia-sign-historic-coordination-agreement-for-first-nations-children-and-families.html

An increase in government funding means more children with support needs are receiving inclusive child care, and more child care providers will be trained to provide these services to help children of all abilities thrive in communities throughout British Columbia.

Families of children and youth with support needs can soon access supports and services through newly established pilot family connections centres in four B.C. communities.

Young people from government care have more support to make stronger transitions into adulthood because of $600-a-month rent supplements.

A survey about social work oversight in B.C. is available to social work practitioners and the general public.
