Every Children’s Aid Society has an Internal Complaints Review Panel (ICRP) process to address the written complaints of people seeking or receiving Children’s Aid Society services. The process involves striking a panel of individuals not involved in the complainant’s case, including at least one person not employed by the agency, to review the complaint. Contact the Children’s Aid Society you were seeking or received services from to find out how to initiate the process.
Please read the Ministry’s’ brochure, which outlines the complaint process.
