Description

The report makes five recommendations for Human Services about the delivery of services for youth who are leaving Government care. The ministry acknowledges the intent of the Advocate’s recommendations. The report suggests that previous responses from government to address issues for youth in care have not been effective. A review of the Advocate’s previous recommendations suggests that the ministry has, in fact, made progress and followed through on many recommendations; however, we do recognize that new tools, guidelines and policies, while important, are only part of the solution to improving outcomes for youth transitioning to adulthood.
