Child Protection Services - Grace Harbour

All programs and services within Child Protection and In-Care are designed to help ensure the safety and well-being of children and youth. When there is concern of maltreatment by a parent, social workers assess the safety and risk to the child(ren). All decisions to intervene with the family are based on the overriding principle of the Children, Youth and Families Act, which is the best interests of the child. Where a child is determined to be in need of protection, the social worker, together with the family, develops a plan to reduce the identified risk. This could involve providing supervision in the home and ensuring the parent avails of supports and intervention services that they require to adequately care for the child. These services may be provided by departmental staff, other departments or agencies of government, or through service providers within the community.
