The Child and Family Services Division of the Ministry of Social Services was established on November 21, 2007. It is responsible for the administration of legislation including: The Child and Family Services Act; The Adoption Act, 1998; The Child Care Act; and The Emergency Protection for Victims of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Act. The division reports to one of the ministry's Assistant Deputy Ministers. Its programs and services provide targeted support for at-risk children, youth and families. Program areas include: child protection and family support services; foster care provided by families throughout the province; adoption and the provision of post-adoption information; teen and young parent welfare; and family violence intervention and counselling. The division also collaborates with child and family services agencies from eighteen First Nations on the provision of child welfare services to families living on reserve.
The Child and Family Services Division was organized into three branches in 2009: Program and Service Design; Child and Family Service Delivery; and Child and Family Community Services. Responsibilities of the division continue (2014) within the ministry.
