Q.
Do supervised access programs provide
service to children who are in the care
of a Children's Aid Society?
A.
No. Supervised access centres supervise
visits and exchanges related to custody

Child welfare (protection) cases are
governed by the Child and Family
Services Act and are typically
supervised by the Children's Aid Society

If at any point during the use of our program it is discovered that a children’s aid society has been involved with a family using our centre, visits will immediately be suspended until
