Who are we?
The Simcoe County Children's Aid Society has
been serving the community since 1894 when the Barrie Society was formed at
a Public Meeting attended by just 25 people.
We provide a range of services to the
community, including:
-
Investigating allegations of child abuse and neglect;
-
Protecting
children who have suffered abuse or neglect (or are at risk of harm) by
assisting and supporting their families to reduce harmful circumstances in
the home or placing children in care;
-
Offering
guidance, counselling and referral services to families whose children are
at risk of abuse or neglect;
-
Referring
families to other service providers when we do not offer a service;
-
Arranging
for treatment services for children in our care;
-
Placing
children in foster homes or adoptive homes depending on the legal status
of the child and his or her needs; and
-
Recruiting,
developing, educating and supporting foster and adoptive homes.
