It`s quite simple really, here in Ontario they are accountable to.....wait for it. No one. You can complain all you like. You can prove injustice legally all you like. They are not accountable to investigation. It does not matter what they do. Very simply there are steps you can take according to CAS.
1) First make a complaint with the manager in charge, basically the actual Social worker. The in take workers are not social workers, they report to a superior.
2) If that goes no where you can then fill out a complaint form and sent it in to a review panel for investigation. This review panel consists of members of Children`s aid societies.
Here is one Children`s aid societies process here in Ontario. I think I basically summed it up without all the silly jargon that might make you think it`s otherwise legit.
Client Complaint Process
That`s about the end of the road as far as a complaint department goes. You can send letters off to the Queen for all they care, no member of Parliament will get involved. No one will investigate or right the wrongs.
So why exactly would the Government NOT vote in a bill that would make CAS agencies accountable to a outside agency? Ombudsman oversight is desperately needed here in Ontario. The bill has been voted on twice in the past few years. The liberals have voted against it twice now. To much to hide?? I wonder.
