Reporting child abuse
If you are outside of Simcoe County, the telephone directory will have the phone number of the nearest office. The emergency pages in most Ontario telephone directories list the number of the local Children's Aid Society (or Family and Children's Services).
All Children's Aid Societies have emergency service, 24 hours a day.
The Simcoe County Children's Aid Society is mandated by the Ontario government to provide protection to children in need. This responsibility is mandated under Ontario's Child and Family Services Act (CFSA).
We fulfill our mandate in collaboration with families, health care providers, courts, police and other community service agencies. We encourage healthy relationships among the children and families we serve. We promote the development of positive parenting skills in the families we serve.
Primarily we investigate reports that a child may be in need of protection. And we provide safety for those children who are found to be in need of protection.
