What We Do

Protecting our Children

CCAS programs and services are designed to meet the needs of the Catholic families and children living in Toronto. We are mandated by the Child, Youth and Family Services Act of Ontario to investigate reports of abuse and neglect.

• Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect: FAQs 
• Learn the Signs of Abuse and Neglect

Strengthening Our Families

We provide supportive services to parents and families so that children and youth remain safe. In most cases, we assist families while children remain in their own homes. However, in certain circumstances we need to bring a child or youth into our care for their safety and well being.
