Our Purposes

  • To support people with children unjustly removed or are under unfair scrutiny or over investigation of the Ministry of Child and Family Development (MCFD);
     
  • To preserve families during MCFD intervention by having children safely returned to their rightful custodial parents/caregivers according to their wishes, safety and the best interests of children at the earliest possible time;
     
  • To ensure that:
  1. the least intrusive, cost-efficient and productive measure is used;
  2. social workers do not act outside their authority;
  3. social workers are genuinely working for the best interests of children and families when carrying out their duties; and
  4. treating children and parents with fairness, honesty and respect;
  • To prevent or minimize social worker's abuse of statutory authority and public resources and render them more accountable to their actions;
     
  • To accurately and truthfully collect evidence of the wrongdoings of social workers and air the same through the media or any other means so that the Canadian public is kept well informed of any torts and social injustice.
